Sounds like some of you need to get more experiance hunting then you can get on here and post some reasonable quotes about coyotes and .22lr.It doesnt take a machinegun to kill them,nor a deer rifle.We all use 22-250,.220swift,&.223 to give us more range but from about 70 to 80 yards your lr will do.I highly dought that some of you have enough in the woods time to make such statements as --we shouldnt be in the woods,or dont know anything about a .22lr or coyotes.What makes you all the experts??
