Small Game, Predator and TrappingFrom shooting squirrels in your backyard to calling coyotes in Arizona. This forum now contains trapping information..
Ya, I wouldn't use the uber-small .000000009 caliber varmint gun to take down a yote. If you breathe to heavily, you might have a bullet sway...LOL. One thing that wasn't stated is shot placement with say a .17 HMR. Head shot only under 100 yards. If you are not a good shot to place that, go into the .20 caliber range, so vital shots can be the norm for you.

I believe Ducky here has lead poisoning by firing that .50 cal too much, and that is effecting is posting abilities.

ok well maybe it just a LITTLE much for a yote. but think. you could pop one out to a 1000 yad easy.and you wouldnt have to skin. you would just have to sew all the little peices back together.i would like to try it.. just cause, but the one i got weighs 38 pounds so i doubt i will be hauling that around.

I find that a 223 is the best caliber gun for small game like these.
hmmmm, ok you got your opinion. I would say otherwise, which is my opinion.
