ihunt365 Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 is a .22 too small of a caliber for coons, foxes, and coytes. I have a 12 gauge in witch I could use #4 buckshot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gitcha_some Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Re: .22 lr coons and foxes no, a yote might be a different story unless you go for a headshot, but im sure people will tell you different oh yeah a 12 ga with 4 buckshot would inihilate just about everything LOL thats always my favorite pick for close hand to hand combat with those critters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RkyMtn Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Re: .22 lr I agree, .22 is too light for coyotes. Head shots on coyotes is asking a lot, at least the ones I call. They don't stand still for very long! Number 4 buck in a three inch mag is excellent coyote medicine, and it does lesss pelt damage than most centerfire loads I've seen.

Jeramie Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Re: .22 lr Yes a .22 is to small for yotes. For Coons, foxes, possum, skunks, etc its not. A .22lr will kill a yote but you better be close in with the yote having no idea youre there. Actually calling them in and trying to take one with a .22lr, you would not have enough gun to be effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BigAl1781 Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Re: .22 lr 50 yards or less head shot on a yote its fine,, i was running my trapline last winter and dispatched a 47lb male from around 50yards with reimington subsonics 22lr with a headshotn and he dropped like a rock,,, didnt even twitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
