NEW TO COYOTE HUNTING

HMRBLS · 11-04-2006, 06:08 PM

I ALWAYS WANTED TO GO COYOTE HUNTING. AFTER I MISSED ONE THIS MORNING WITH MY BOW WHILE DEER HUNTING, I NOW HAVE THE BUG.
WHAT DO YOU GUYS SUGGEST FOR A NORTH EAST HUNTER AS FAR AS A RIFLE AND CATRIDGE? MY BROTHER SUGGESTED THE RUGER MINI 14 RANCH IN .223. WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

that would do the trick just fine but if you dont want to spend that kind of money a bolt action or a single shot in a 223,204,22-250 or 243 will work also there are some other calibers also just a few good luck and have fun when you start you will be hooked

Unless you already have a Mini-14 in .223, I would opt for a good bolt action in .223 instead. Also, top the gun off with GOOD OPTICS. Skimp on the scope, and you'll be dissappointed when showtime comes.
