coyote vs BMG 50 cal
 

this is the link to a video a friend and myself made a few weeks ago its not bowfishing but still fun http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5-523zs0uc

Moved to the Small Game, Predator and Trapping section. Please post threads in their appropriate section. Thanks.

That is Wickedly wild.

That is pretty cool. I'm not sure if he really had a 50 cal, you can't see the impact or the gun.

That's one way to get people to "look" at your video's, but until I see that the guy actually was shooting a .50 BMG, then I ain't buying it! Saying it doesn't make it so!

I highly doubt anyone will carry a gun into the woods to hunt coyotes when the gun weighs over 30#'s.

It sure wasn't a .22 LR, lol :fighting0007:

I'm not buying the fact it was .50 but it was good sized gun regardless.

Nothing to do with the OP, but here is my .50 coyote kill. I might have posted about it here before, but can't remember.

Overkill doesn't adequately describe what that was.

I don't know if it was a .50 cal or not but it sure wasn't a .223. Look at the stuff fly at impact.

Well I don't know if it was a .50 or not but I do know that if it was in Illinois like the title of the video says it was HIGHLY illegal because you can't hunt with rifles over there,it's slug gun or handgun only.

you are allowed to hunt yote with anything

what about grenades?

lol well if you can get them send some my way

Killing just kill giving us hunters a bad name. I hunt yotes and each one I have killed is tanned. Don't see the point of shooting a yote with a 50 which I dont think it was. Just my thoughts.

was it a shotgun slug?

Coyotes are a different story though. You can easily justify killing a coyote because they can be very destructive to small game populations even up to deer and turkeys. Grouse are almost non existent now in my part of TN. When I was a kid though there was definately a very huntable number. Hawks, bobcats, and especially coyotes are exploding in population and small game is suffering. I see no problem killing coyotes and not tanning their hide or selling their pelt. Also, it may not have been a 50 cal but I can tell you my 270 doesn't even do close to that kind of destruction to a yote. BB

overkill??? Dead is Dead .22 or 22lb bomb your still dead.

didnt sound like a .50 to me.

That was no .50 cal!

Why in the world is this a sticky??????

Nice work, Sweet gun

I too doubt that it was a 50 bmg at that range even the X bullet would have failed or the dog would have misted. Could have well been an AE,Beowolf or S&W in 50. I did see something much like that w/25-06' w/100 gn hps. It was a large jack rabbit nothing left but and ears everything else was just liquified .
