[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1319602, member: 41338"] Hey, if you got the silver bullet, I'm listening. I'd say that 50 to 100 yards are pretty common scenarios in the field. If you like what your using, have at. I'd give what you got going a try. If your drawing 'em in at 50, a 10 ga. with a tight choke will stack 'em too, with a higher kill percentage. Really, set up tight and give it some months before you dismiss it. Usually they start with a 12 ga. full choke. That might be all you ever need. No fuzz in the scope cause no scope. Don't knock it till you've tried it but don't blame near misses on your equipment when you don't set up right. What I take umbridge to is the ongoing and endless discussion of weather a deer rifle is a good coyote fur-gun. It might be a good coyote gun but it's not a good fur gun. Load it up. Load it down. A Ford LTD isn't an economy car any way you look at it. I've shot coyotes with a 270 because I wanted them to be gone but I never shot them with a 270 because I was putting up their fur. Seriously... carpenters don't use a framing hammer on finish work. It's a pretty old expression but in many cases, less is more. Because somebody "wrote" that they killed a coyote at 800 yards, well, fine and dandy but a fell'a should go out and do it a couple hundred times and see if what he's seeing is a coyote at 800 or a coyote a 80. Anyway, I don't care if a dude uses a 300 magnum but when he asks if his deer/elk gun is a bit much for fur... well hell... that guy needs to trap a coyote and see what it takes to kill it if he can't use common sense or at the very least, do some leg work of his own.
