why not use a Stevens/Savage over-under .22LR over 20ga? use CCI Velocitor and 3" #3 Buck. decisions, decisions

Works really well for me. Mine is a Savage 24F, .22 Hornet over 20 gauge. I either use 3" #2 shot or #4 buckshot. Killed a lot of called in coyotes with that heavy old gun.

Around here the serious yote hunters use 22 mags, the 17 rimfire or a shotgun. Many of them also seem to favor the SKS.,,mainly because so many of them are around.

Sure you can kill em with a 22 LR. But if you are hunting them for the pelts, then you had better shoot them in the head, otherwise they will run off an youll never find the bodies.

I just got a 223 rifle, so when I get it together and learn this rifle, thats what I will use.

In Idaho you will need a hunting license to hunt anything, even unprotected species.

I usually carry a pick handle and when I find one, I whap him over the nose with it, then I stand on his head and yank him up by the tail to break his neck. That way you dont damage the pelt.

If I am going to use a .22 anything to kill yote it would be a .22 mag.

If you are going to shoot them in close, go out and find yourself a used 25 20, 32 20 or 218 bee or the like old timey rifle sitting in some real gun shops cast off rack, they kill coyote like lightning.
