I am in the camp of "Nomercy448". Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending upon how you look at it??) I live and hunt in a state where the only "medium" game are white tailed deer and feral hogs. As far as coyotes? I am not into keeping the hide. I just want these non-native to Alabama critters dead. And we don't have "wistle pigs" either.

My rifle of choice is a 30 caliber. It is chambered for the 308 Win. cartridge. In fact, it ain't too bad on coyotes using a 110 gr. "plinker" load that I worked up.

Having said that, I do plan an elk hunt before I go "toes-up". So I jumped on a great deal on a friend's "one-trip out west", barely used (5 shots through the barrell), custom shop, Rem. 700 in 338 Win. Mag. Man what a shooter ! Anyway, I figure that if I never go, I'll get my $400 back.
