gmpk,
Thanks for the kind words. God knows I dont get many. LOL.

Handgunner,
With all due respect to gmpk, before you subscribe to that, try something. Take 10 playing cards. Round the edges off with a pair of scissors. That should be roughly the size of a coyotes skull. Poke a hole in it and hang it from a string about 18" off the ground. Coyotes dont always stand still and do move their heads at the last moment. Thats why hangin from a string is used. The slightest breeze will move it, just like a coyote.

Now go to an honest hunting range and from an honest hunting position, tell us how many out of 10 times you hit that thing. Not grazed, but the whole bullet goes thru it. Anything but that, and you got a coyote missing teeth, lower jaw, ect.... And if you body shoot them, unless its perfect shot and conditions, you got a crippled coyote. Even if you do well, say hit 8 of 10, there will be two maimed coyotes running around. Is your conscious ok with that?

Its just not worth it. If you can hunt with a shotgun, get a 12ga with some #4 buck. You wont be disappointed.

Andy
