Favorite gun for coyote, what do you bring

Seems to be quite a bit of interest in yote hunting these days. Mine, I can now say, is my TC Prohunter in .204 ruger. In western PA I walk alot and carry it through dense woods (not to mention thorns). It's light, wicked accurate, and gives me the opportunity to keep the pelt.

As a side note thanks for all the previous advice Daryl I went with that gun and have not been disappointed by the power in the .204. Hopefully I'll find that pet load soon.
 
GOTTA love that.

I think who ever said "use what you know how to shoot best and will take them down" was most likley the winner here.

fact is, no matter what the gun can do scientifically, if you can shoot it right, you can exceed that capability. Conversely, no matter how overkill the gun is we still manange to undershoot it if we dont practice practice practice.

(and nothing listed here takes them better than the 25-06)
hahahaha -just kidding.
 
GPS and pigs

Yes I have a GPSS. That seems like a great suggestion. Don't know why I didn't think of it. Hogs heck yes.

Texas is home to nearly 2 million feral hogs, the largest feral hog population in the U.S. Their numbers are continuing to increase because of their high reproductive potential and the lack of natural predators. Feral hogs wreak havoc on property, livestock, crops and pastures across the state and frustrate landowners because of their destructive nature. Landowners have reported extensive damage to crops, fences, roads, ponds, fields and feed loss. Texas AgriLife Extension Service estimates that statewide annual economic damage caused by feral hogs is $51.7 million.

I think most of them are in my back hay meadow. Hogs, coyotes, and fire ants, can you get any more fun than that;)? I tote around a 12 GA with #2 buckshot rotated with rifled slug as the next round. I can handle anything with that including the occasional migrating Kodiak:D Just kidding, We are more concerned with migrating Yankees:D:D JUST KIDDING AGAIN:rolleyes:
 
.22-250

22 centerfire

I love a longshot. My Hornet inside 220yds. But I love to dropem @ 700yds with my old 22-250. Now when you want to feel the adreneline try to shoot them with a supressed ATM automag(22 win mag) inside 25ft!
 
I've used my Remington 700 BDL .243 w/ 4x Redfield scope for 30+ years and it does a good job on coyotes and hogs. Not a lot of kick to it.
 
Either the .22-250 or the .25-06, we usually will see timberwolves before coyotes in this area (eastern Ontario) so I prefer the .25-06.
 
growing up the hides we sold were a big part of the family's income,so they couldnt be all shot up.
i used a .22mag for day, and a 12ga loaded w/BB at night.
 
I use a Benelli Nova with 3 1/2 T shot out of a Carlson's dead coyote choke. I have never missed or crippled a yote when I shot under 90 yards. Dead where they lay. i have no need for a rifle. I shoot in timber almost 98% of the time.
 
I find myself more and more using my remington 870. Here in PA you can't use anything larger than #4 buck so that's what I tend to go with. The majority of the woods here are too thick to make a rifle a good choice. When I can find open area though i'm really falling in love with my .204 ruger.
