TuffnufOutdoors Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 I am looking to begin coyote hunting since you can hunt them year round in Kentucky. What would everyone suggest to use to shoot them. It will be a good excuse to pick up another gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 What ever you want. Are you planning on keeping the fur? If so 223 or 22-250. If you do not care about the fur, what ever you want to shoot will work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Used to use whatever I used for deer, but bought an AR15 in .223 just for varmint hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 I shoot .22-250 for all varmints and wolves up here, very accurate cartridge for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrAzYCoYoTe Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Yes man!! Someone has finnaly given respect to an all around good caliber of rifle. The .223 is an accurate deadly round that is not given any respect i used it for coyotes since i was 13 yrs old. A single shot NEF to be exact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bachflock Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I started a very similar thread a few weeks back. I'd have to say that most opinions lean toward the .223 or the .22-250. Season opens in 4 days here in MI. I'm hoping to make it out at least once. Only rifle I have that I can legally hunt 'yotes with is a .30-30. I'm kicking around picking up some slugs for my .410 but the .30-30 will be MUCH cheaper to shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobw Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Remington Makes A Nice Pump In 223, I Have One And Like It A Lot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrAzYCoYoTe Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 If your gonna go close to mid range you might look in to a mini-14 if a little further of get an ar-15 or variant. I used of course the single shot single shot (feels like fair chase) and you could go with an inexpensive Remington m7oo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Evan Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 .204 i just bought a ruger m77 mark II in .204ruger, it is a great buy. period. The .204 is one of the fastest shooting callibers on the market at a blistering 4225 fps; with that speed it is barely affected by the wind and is at almost a complete zero at 250yrds. When a bullet shoots that fast the lead in the core of the bullet almost liquifies and when it hits its makes a small entrance wound and just explodes on the insides usually not even leaving an exit wound. if you want a good all around varmint gun there is none better then the .204, it also has a pretty versidle range of bullet weights, from 32 grain to 50 i believe?(and a few inbetween). so check one out before you buy any other gun.
