Guest QuackHead Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Is a .22 powerful enough to kill a Coy from lets say 75 yards. I am assuming that I would have to hit it in the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardwood_HD Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Re: Coy Guns it might, i got my first yote with a .17 but i just ordered a 22-250 last night because i wanted something bigger, i dont feel comfertable shooting them with a .22 or .17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest QuackHead Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Re: Coy Guns Thanks for the advice. I think I'm gonna get a 22-250 myself when the money comes around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhunter91 Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Re: Coy Guns I wouldn't reccomend it with a .22lr but a .22mag will do just fine at 75 yards with a headshot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntinguide Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Re: Coy Guns ive seen it done but it was behind the shoulder, went 25 yards. I think that the 22 has a relative slow velocity so the bullet doesnt blow up on impact, it keeps its mass and will travel through into the vitals, but it can slow down really quick too. So if you get the shoulder that might be it, the head is pretty thick as well..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest onecoyote Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Re: Coy Guns A .22 can kill a deer, but is it the right caliber to use? Always taking head shots is not possible in predator hunting, the animals usually don't hang around that long for one thing. A head is a small target to always be hitting when hunting, not a good idea. Part of hunting is being responcible. In my opinion using the right caliber for the animals you are hunting is a must.

Shaun_300 Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Re: Coy Guns Yeah it might kill it, may not though too. It's not really worth the risk in my opinion. A .22 magnum would defiently put it down though. Even better off, get a .22-250 or .223. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coles Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Re: Coy Guns i would use a bow to shoot COI but yeah a .22 will kill a COYOTE if you get a close enough head shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest QuackHead Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Re: Coy Guns I just got a .270 from a buddy and shot it the other day while coy huntin I'm pretty sure that will take one to the ground. Man it was loud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow32 Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Re: Coy Guns That .270 will do you alot mroe good than a .22 would. Good luck when you go again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
