I've killed them with 5 or 6 lead turkey shells, so if 9 tss is the same energy as 5 or 6 lead I figured it would. But not positive

I have shot one in the face and one in the shoulder and it killed them both. Face was dead then, shoulder he ran around in circles yipping and all then died

Thanks all. I've got a spot where the cam is snapping many turkey pics but also several yotes. There's little doubt one will wander by sometime this season. Sounds like in the face should get it done.

Wow! I wouldn't think TSS #9 would penetrate a yote's skull, but either a few got thru, are so many hit his carotids & spine, just didn't matter.

I shot a 130 lb hog last year at about 25 yards just behind the shoulder. He made it 75 yards and fell over. I was amazed that a 1-5/8 oz load of #9s could do that. That was the 4th hog I've killed with that load but the others were all inside 12 yards and the tight shooting little 20 gauge essentially made a slug hole in them.
