Small Game, Predator and TrappingFrom shooting squirrels in your backyard to calling coyotes in Arizona. This forum now contains trapping information..
would the savage rifle over shotgun make a good yote gun ? looks like there are several choices for caliber on the savage web site. wondering if the 12ga/223 would be a good one.

Yep!.....Sure will!.......I have a 24V .30-30/ 20ga 3"for about 10yrs now.

Oh Ya!
I have one in .222/20 ga.
Had a scope on it for a while (came with it), but I took it off, and practiced tons with it standing and kneeling.
I will be trying it on coyotes next weekend. I am not sure about the range of the 20ga, but am in no doubt about the .222's capability.
I will be in some heavy brush, so the shots should be within 100 yards.
They are good looking guns (wood stock ones), and very reliable.

thank you for your responces. there are a couple of things though, they seem to only be avalible in the syntetic stock version, and the 20ga isnt threaded for screw in chokes. doesnt seem to be much of a weight difference between the 20 and the 12 though. beeing around 8lbs do you guys use bipods or freehand ? the screw in chokes will be my deciding factor ( more versital, cabelas new book has a screw in poly choke cyl-ext full at a twist )
Mine does not have the screw-in chokes, so I can't say....sorry.
I try to use a Stoney Point bipod when possible. Otherwise, I like a good leather shooting sling over a carrying sling.
