I won't question whether it is a good gun for shooting coyotes or fox, I'll leave that to other calibers. A 150-200 yard squirrel gun...sounds like fun to me. Late season still hunting with binoculars, squirrel hunting becomes a different game. What about practice reaching out through the branches to make that shot. Sounds like some other hunting I do. I just like being out there. Thats why I have a deposit on one.
