#4 buckshot for mt. lion

I was wondering if yall think that #4 buckshot is adequate for a treed lion. i am too damn lazy to go to wal-mart and buy rifle ammo but i'm not to lazy to go walk umpteen miles up and down the mountain

you could kill a treed lion with a 22 if you are a decent shot the buckshot will do the job but ruin your hide.

If you must use a shotgun for your treed lion, by all means use 000 BUCK for your lion harvest. It will deliver the best energy and penetration of all the buck shot.

I suggest the use of 1 ought buck( Refering to SLUG) Dad shot a cat a couple years back at about 35 yds witha Slug and blew it clean outa the tree and there was no kicking or even eye blinks after that. The was a hole big enough you could put your boot through it.

Hunting Tip: Rattling Tips

There can be too much of a good thing with antler rattling. I like to hit the horns together for a good 30- to 40-second rattling sequence and then hang them up and resist the urge to hit them again. This works to the hunter's advantage, because if a buck has heard it, he may have been 300 or 400 yards away and he comes in and he's not exactly sure where it came from. When finally is time to rattle again throw a slight change-up into the routine. The second time, don't rattle as loud...
