Problem Coyotes

[LippCJ7]

thought about a 223 but figured as close as my sis said the coyotes come to her I could get a good enough shot to take it with a 22, I also didn't want to use anything "High power" due to the proximity of the neighbors. I got a few phone calls into the SO I'll let you know what I find out.

my experience is that a .22lr will barely take out a prarie dog
it'll do the job but they crawl back into their hole gut shot to die a slow death - not cool
scope your AR then get your self some shooting sticks or a bipod
the .223 is a hyper accurate round
and will do the job right

wolffo, Thats not what I wanted to hear

I know man, you can use some soft point or hollow point ammo and maybe shoot from an elevated position to reduce your ricochette potential too

Don't miss and you will be fine!

What did you find out about the legality of it?

You might also go talk with the neighbors and ask if they are having problems with them as well...don't say you are shooting them unless they bring up something that would lead you to believe they are okay with it. You don't need more people watching your back when you take these out.

My two cents: call them in and use a shotgun. Alleviates the fear of hitting someone's house.

have that suppressed Howa using 40gr wim hp's or 55gr nosler ballistic tips? i could probable strap it onto the harley (to save gas) or the 77/22mag suppressed using rem 40gr varmit loads.

if you can shoot call them in and shoot them with a shotgun. no overtravel then. just call them in pretty close and use 00buck. or if you dont have alot of dogs running around, you could set some traps

I have a Rem.700 w/ a Gemtech TPRS can and some EBR 180 gr. subsonic (about .38 ballistics at 100 yards). Stupid quiet.
