[QUOTE="Bret GRAVELINE Graveline, post: 2835999, member: 108926"] My two cents for what it's worth, I've been calling coyote since the early 70's, I've taken over 300, My brother lives in Idaho has taken a few more than i, all called in during the day using hand calls, A good day for me is 5 to 8 coyotes with a few cats fox and badgers thrown in from time to time, about the same for my brother although his best day was 11 coyotes (hate that kid sometimes) most of these coyotes for both of us fell to the 17 remington, he shoots a sako I a kimber, we both use a 220 swift when hunting alpine meadows and parks, I occasionally add a 2506, I've used 16 different cartridges in about 2 dozen rifles, I've lost only 2 hit with the 17, I'm sure one survived the hit the other one was ugly as I only found blood and teeth, I've lost coyotes hit with the 222 Mag, 22-250 220 swift and 338 win, I use the swift and 06 for longer shoots, I've taken coyotes out to 400 yards with the 17, the average shoot I get when calling is under 50 yards, the closest was point blank or 0.00 inches, I poked him with the barrel before I pulled the trigger, ive a second 17 in a Ruger num 1 both guns have 22in barrels, with the exception of the number i use bolt guns, i once took out 4 out of 5 coyotes on one stand, A second time I took 3 out of 5 and crippled a 4th with the 220 swift, I always felt that with the lighter and handier kimber i may have gotten that forth coyote, both 17's have 3x9 ultra light leap olds the 220 and 06 wear 4x12, if I had to give up my 17 I'd probaly choose the 204 ruger, although a 6MM PPC made sako would get serious thought.
