Are you calling? I agree the .243 is a good coyote gun, but if you are calling, a shotgun works well for close in shots. I have a Savage .223 over a 12 gauge shotgun that works very well on called coyotes. If they hang up out a way, you have the rifle. If they're in your lap, the 12 with #2 shot is perfect.
