Why I Stopped Using a Shotgun for Coyotes

In this archived episode, Wade breaks down why he used to be a major shotgun guy for predator hunting, and why he eventually replaced it with a compact suppressed AR setup.

We cover the real pros of shotguns (especially in fox country and shotgun-only land), the cost of stretching shotgun range with tungsten, and why modern AR platforms with today’s optics (LPVOs, red dots + magnifiers) have become a better “do-it-all” option for close-quarters calling.

He also talks through practical setups: barrel length, suppressor considerations, optic choices, and why cartridges like 6 ARC can be a game-changer in a compact AR package.
