Is the 22 hornet enough bullet for coyote?

thanx

[hoytinak]

I've used 35gr Hornady V-Max on yotes before with no problems.

[mr.t7024]

yup, and then some!:) Cliff

If you keep it under 150yds

[Deja vu]

I have killed them with a 22lr. Range and shot placement are vital.

[jglsprings]

Noooo problem. Great coyote medicine. I liked it because it had more umph than a 22 and was not as noisy as my 22-250.

The .22 Hornet has 1 shot killing capabilities beyond that of a yote, at ranges beyond 150 yards.:)

You bet it is and what a great round at that. ..... ;)

Also so true and back when I was a "younger" kid with less options, I took them regularly, out to 100yds with a .22 Mag. No matter, if I had a 200yd shot, I'd have taken it. Most of my midwest Yote shots are under 100yds. .... ;)

Be Safe !!!

[hornetguy]

Yes.

I think that 200yds would be my personal max range. It's beginning to get iffy around there, depending entirely on shot placement.

Under 150yds, it is probably just about ideal.

[Salmoneye]

yes

[jmr40]

That is what they were designed for.

Ive shot proably 10 of the with the 35 vmax. At a 100 yards or less it gets it done. I think if i knew shots would be any farther out then a 100 yards id step up to a 223. Ive shot a couple out at 200 that did run off wounded.

Just how big and heavy are coyotes?

In VT they can get over 70#, as the Eastern Coyote has interbred with Wolves on it's way here...

I have been after one male since the first of the year that easily goes over 60#...I have never seen one as large, or as red colored...He's shedding now, so I will wait till late fall to chase him if he is still around...

He teases me by sitting in front of people's houses, thus not allowing me a clean shot...He runs with an all grey female that is in the 35# range...

[Uncle Billy]

Maybe it's a feral dog or a recent generation coywolf.

[Salmoneye]

It sure as heck is not a 'dog'...

If by 'CoyWolf' you mean a coyote/wolf hybrid, that is what I said in my last post...

A .22 Mag will clean a coyote's clock just fine, so a .22 Hornet would be OK also. I prefer the .223 myself.
