Use my 10-22 and .17 Marlin on them. If hunting them in somewhat open land don't get hasty....When they run, let them go a ways and whistle with eyes on the sights. They often run a ways and stop to look back if not pursued. That is your second of opportunity. In the Hill country of Texas they are tough and unless they are really young I don't mess with them. Ealier in life, we used to spot light them and I used an old Remington Sportsmaster bolt .22 lr. It is said in my part of Texas that they run in 5 year cycles as well as cotton tails as to numbers available. Found that pretty well accurate over the years. We have a pretty large yote population these days that keep their numbers down significantly.
