Dunno how things are now but back in about 1934 when I was almost eight, we had lots of prairie dogs and rabbits in the Sandhills of western Nebraska. There was a push to eradicate coyotes so the little varmints thrived. It was depression days so I took them with .22 shorts 'cause the shorts cost two bits per box of fifty and long rifle ammo was four bits but, with head shots, you can see here my "trophies".
That was a long time ago so things might have changed.
