Small Game, Predator and TrappingFrom shooting squirrels in your backyard to calling coyotes in Arizona. This forum now contains trapping information..
went out 3 times in the last month with a fresh snow each time,and nailed a coyote each time ! missed on a double on two of the hunts. shot them with an AR-10 .243 80gr,soft points.
really tore the last on up.i'm getting some .58 grain v-max soon.
first one was a 100 yd chest shot,second one was a 300 yd head shot and third one was facing me at 80 yds.last one wasn't worth skinning

I use .75 gr. V-max out of my .243 and never get that kind of pelt damage.
Shot a bobcat yesterday, pinky size entry and sliver dollar/fifty cent piece size exit hole.
When right down................dedicated predator rig using a Remington 700 SPS DM.
