NYBUCK Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 A couple years ago I bought the Johnny Stewart electronic call and I have yet to use it. This year I am going to. I have killed yotes with my 30-30, 30-06 and my bow while deer hunting. I want a gun specifically for these critters. What do you suggest? I am considering the .243. I need to get out and eliminate a few of these from our property. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Re: What gun The .243 makes for a great deer/varmint rifle in my opinion. Shoots pretty darned flat and fast. I am planning to borrow my wifes .243 to hunt some yotes after the deer seasons here close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Re: What gun .243 would definetly make a good choice. I have the .22-250 for wolves, yotes and groundhogs, it's a VERY fast and flat shooting rifle. It's got the varmint barrel on it with a 6-18x40 scope on top, strictly a varmint rifle.

PAstringking Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Re: What gun the best part about a .243 is that you can find them for really cheap. old deer rifles that are just sitting in someones house being unused. you can uaully pick them up for $100. a brand new Savage with a comosite stock was like $250 at Gander Mt.

tped Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Re: What gun Search some of the other gun sights and you will start to see allot of talk about the 204 Ruger and the performance many are seeing. Very low recoil and good for a long distance. I was in Texas a few weeks ago and saw the performance of the 204 on Coyotes and was so impressed I had to buy one myself.
