Default RE: Bullet for Coyote and fox

i think no matter what bullet you use the 25-06 is a little excessive if your looking to save pelts.the solids on coyote very well may work good but i think its still going to cut a fox in half.you need to scale back to something like a 223 if your looking to get top dollar for the fur.if the 25-06 is all you have then try the solids or the heavyest bullet in a soft point you can for coyote.fox i would avoid all together with that round.just remember when hunting with fmj's,shot placement is critacal,a coyote can run along ways with a nice,clean round hole in his side.
