Congrats on the kill!! Nice looking yote. But I have a question. How many people actually recommend the .17hmr as a coyote round? I have a .17 myself. But the more I read, the more I find most people say its not powerful enough for coyotes, especially long range. Is there anyone that feels it is not adequate enough for coyotes? Or is the general consensus that it is enough with a well placed shot?
Rh I shoot one as well and i have found it does the job in close ranges such as this case. However for your 250 yard shots its a no no. Not a coyote gun but can be used as one in a pinch. I have taken yotes with mine as well but all were close range, i need a longer range dog gun as right now i am shooting them with the 7mm rem mag. [:-]
