Well thats the thing, if we all felt the same way about everything, we would all be standing in the same long line all the time.
I think the 17 hmr. will kill coyotes if everthing is pefect. If you dont put a good shot on them then we all know what will happen.
Hunting them to ext? I think that would be a tall order I know thats what happened to the wolf,,almost, and the buff. That would be like getting rid of all the roaches in the world. I hope it never happens, I live for shootin dogs.
