Cool. One of my customers has invited me--on several occasions--to go shoot coyote with him. I just may take him up on it. Any rifle recommendations? |

I hunt Coyotes. either a .223 Contender or a .308 Cloward Express XP101 Adds a little challenge. |

.204, 22-250, 222, 220swift, 223 all are good roungs amongst a few others. 308 overkill if you are keeping fur not worth the time. |

skill, and having a rifle that shoots 1/4" groups makes it easier. ![]() |

right around 100 yards..not ranged but paces at about 90 big paces... rightbehind front shoulder dropped like a ton of bricks.. I almost was able to put it right behind his ear but he moved.. i wanna see some spent target pics when you get that .17 dialed in!! Last edited by 1shot; 04-20-2009 at 09:08 AM. |

I have a pet coyote so if you see her please don't shoot her. I have 10 acres out in King County and my coyote wears a yellow vest. So you can't miss her. |

Holy shit guys, I thought the white tail hunter in Texas were over compensating shooting 120lb deer with 7mm's. Use a .38 lever gun and have fun.

Last year, some dumbass actually thought my Alaskan Malamute was a wolf and tried shooting her with a .410 ![]() Lucky for me and my Malamute, he was a sh*ty shooter and only fired off 2 rounds before I snatched his shotgun from him.

Franklin county has coyotes galore but most hunting (aside from Juniper Dunes) is private access. People here GENERALLY are ok with you hunting predators as long as you ask any get permission of course. I use a 17 WSM….good shot placement is mandatory with this round; though out to about 100 yards I get a good flat trajectory, I’d stay within 75 yards with that round for kinetic energy transfer.
