its a lot to consider but good advice but im not saying im going to hunt smaller stuff thats just a might and even then i dont care what the smaller stuff looks like after i blow it up with a 270 cause im killing it cause its a nuisance. i cant get money for coyotes or anything else and i will mostly be hunting deer and elk so i think the 270 is a perfect sized rifle for what i need and if i do need it to kill anything else i can thats my reasoning.

In the research world, this is what we call "defining our scope".

This is the exact thought process I was alluding to in my other posts. Your first post was very broad, now you've refined the scope of your REAL hunting plans, and now it's very clear that your rifle choice is in the "ideal rifle" range, rather than the "jack of all trades" ballpark. Good work.

Why can't you get money for pelts? That would surprise me, because I know most of the pelts I've harvested down here over the last 5-10yrs have been exported to Canada (with Russia obviously being a heavy buyer as well). Surely the cannucks have a system for utilizing their own resources as well?

Because im not in an area where coyotes are a problem.
