You're right, a centerfire would be better. And I definetly want a clean kill on anything I hunt. But, in my situation, with game laws banning centerfire most of the year, coyotes threatening my livestock and pets in my backyard, and my living relatively close to 2 other houses, my choices are limited. To stay legal, I use either a 22mag, a shotgun, or archery. Which of the three would you choose in my situation?

Its the same where I live. Probably more coyotes are killed with 22mag than anything else. Like most things, it comes down to shot placement.
