If I were going after coyotes for their fur, and I would at $100/ good pelt I would consider .30-06 or .30-30 way too much gun for coyote. I would be looking for a .17 Hornet, .204 ruger, .22-250 with a v-max bullet. Something that would go into the animal at a high velocity, turn into a bunch of little pieces, and not exit the other side. A tiny entrance wound and no exit wound.
