The .22 rim fire rule is only on the WMA's before deer season, private lands you can use anything.
the moon doesn't help us in the south, not enough light to make possitive ID (DOG/YOTE) even in
the open fields, got to have snow to help reflect the light.

Here in the south hunt during the day with good remote call and decoy, pastures that have
small patches of brush are thebest IMO. Hay fields that have bales in them work good to,
use bale as blind and keep as much of the woods in front you as you can, watch the brush line
real closeyoteswill try and work alongthem to get advantage before coming out in the open.

Nowas for gun, if you think you can getyotes within 60 yards use shot gun with #2 or #00 buck shot
over 60 yards then a small center fire rifle like .22 hornet, .222, .223, .204 ruger, ect, ect up to a .243
with fast expanding bullets. brand of gun is what ever you prefer rem, ruger, sako, savage, ect, ect
they all make good ones.

What part of SC you in?
I'm in the Cross Anchor area.
hope this helpsand good luck. rem250
