Question What shot size?

I would like to know what is the best fox/coyote load for a 20 guage. Modified choke. I know 12 guage is better however I don't own one and don't have the money to buy one now. I don't want to use slugs.

I have several boxes of #4buckshot for a ,20ga.It works fine at shorter ranges(30yds and under).I would rather have lighter shot on out to fill the holes that have opened up.Whatever you use,be prepared for multiple shots beyond 30yds.This is field experience I have had. sam.
