hey guys i was out walking in my woods this morning and i finally found some coyote/fox tracks. im goin out this evening but not sure what i should take. i have a 12 gauge 2 3/4 double barrel that i shoot no.4 buckshot out of. i also have a 30-06 w/ handloaded 180 sbt sierra gamekings. or a .270 shooting winchesters 130 ballistic silvertips. i have other guns but these r the ones im considering. the only reason im sorta iffy on the 12 gauge is cause there is a spot where i could get a 100 yd shot. thanks for the help

I'd probalay go with the .270

Check your reluations as well. Many states have very strict laws on hunting yotes.

If its legal I like the 12 gau with 4 buck .
Better for a moving target.
Try to get them in to 60 yds or closer.

It also depends on if you're planning on keeping the hide. If so, none of them will work too well, causing too much damage to be of any use. If not, then I'd go with the .270 and your ballistic tips. Even if you don't get a drop-em kill, I doubt he'd get too far.

hey guys thanks for your help. i ended up taking my .223 it got above freezin last night so i didnt worry about the condensation. i called one in but it was on the farmers property beside me so ill have to go ask him if he minds if i predator hunt. this morning about 530 i heard 5-10 coyotes just howling their heads off. pretty cool. right at the moment i have more coyote tracks in my woods than deer or anything else.

Man, 223 will work fine!

Definately the .223 one of the best varmit caliburs going! Jimmy
