Danthehunter, now that you've told us how many you've killed with the 22 mag. and the 22lr, now tell us how many ran off and never recovered?
The biggest problem with the 22 lr. is that a coyote can be shot and run a long ways and leave no blood trail, and never be recovered!
I agree with the thinking that the 22lr. is best used to dispatch trappedcoyotes!
