Frequently Asked Questions

What makes TSS ammunition effective for predator hunting?

TSS (Tungsten Super Shot) is highly effective because it's significantly denser than lead, allowing for smaller pellets that retain more energy and penetration. This makes it devastating for predator hunting, even at close ranges, ensuring quick and humane takedowns.

What is the 'point and shoot' method mentioned in the video?

The 'point and shoot' method refers to an instinctive shooting approach used in extremely close-range encounters. It bypasses traditional aiming, relying on muscle memory and immediate reaction, similar to how one might point at an object very near them.

What gear did the O'Neill Ops team use for this hunt?

The O'Neill Ops team utilized a suppressed shotgun equipped with a Leupold optic, specialized Salt Creek Custom Ammunition 'Triple Threat' (loaded with TSS), electronic calls, and effective camouflage suited to the snowy, wooded environment.

How close was the coyote during the record kill?

The coyote was exceptionally close, estimated to be only about three steps away from the hunter when the shot was taken. This proximity made it one of the closest shotgun kills documented by the O'Neill Ops channel.
