"Now with all that being said. When it comes to Coyote hunting. If you happen to see one while out squirrel or rabbit hunting, and it is close enough to chose which eyeball you want to enter into, by all means, take that shot with your rimfire. But if you are out HUNTING for a coyote, you should probably have a 22 caliber centerfire in hand. "
I thought that pretty much summed it up.
But I guess you fell into the
...."There are LOTS of rounds out there. Some people like one round better than the other for this reason or that reason. this one is flatter. This one is less expensive. This one has better grouping. This one is made by orphans in gondaloushipia and all proceeds go to get their piano lessons paid for. I could list all the calibers and the pros and cons of each as I see them. We would then hear from Al, Bob, Charlie, David, Elmer, Frank, Gunther, Harry, Iomus, Jerry, Ken, Larry, Mark, Nathan, Opus, Paul, Quinten, Raul, Sam, Tiberius, Ube, Victor, Walter, Xander, Yan, and Zaiver about how each of my points are not valid because of this reason or that reason or because they know of a cousin who did this or that and came up with this and that results different. "
On another note. Just because it is my first post in THIS group, by no means negates the fact that there MIGHT be some truth in my thoughts.
Granted even a seasoned hunter has different opinions than other seasoned hunters, that would nonetheless not give rise to a personal attack on the posters ability to pass on ideas and information.
In fact I am VERY open to reading other peoples ideas and thoughts. This does not mean I do not have my own ideas and practiced ways of doing things.
Skip back to that part where I posted about "it is close enough to chose which eyeball you want to enter into..." that is if you happen to come upone one while hunting other game with a rimfire....
Read it agian. I am sure you were hasty to jump to a conclusion and only skimmed what was written.
Gosh! I love counter-points! I really do. I do not like a society where people mindlessly follow eanything/everything. I WANT to be questioned. I WANT to be challenged. I also want to be the questioner and challenger at times. Life would be too boring and easy without it.
