That doesn't make sense. It almost sounds like they don't want you to kill them humanely.

Well i tried to help

I think what they are doing is our Archery deer season runs from Oct. 1- Feb 28 and they dont want people in the woods with deer type weapons during that time. Thanks for the info.

I have not hunted coyotes with my 22 mag, but I have had good luck on paper with the CCI/Hornady vmax bullets. It will shoot 1" at 100 yds with them.

That is all confusing to me....i have a 22 mag that i plan to hunt coyotes with. Of course i know the accuracy of my gun too, it easily shoots 1" at 100 yards so i plan to go for head shots of course, also i know many people around the area that hunt coyotes with rimfires. Also the season? why limit it we have year round season with whatever u want to shoot at them.....

they must like the coyotes in Arkansas because here in Iowa there are almost no restrictions on coyote hunting because they're predators and eat livestock and diminish the regular game population. anyways my Dad used to use a .22 lr with a 50-round drum because it was light and handy for when he was tracking. for close range (50 yds. and under) a .22 magnum would probably do alright, I would just make sure you can make some follow up shots

I think the .22 magnum is fine personally. I think CCI has .22 magnums with a FMJ, if you want to go for a head shot I think something like that that won't fragment as much would work better, but for a broadside I think you should stick with a fragmenting or expanding bullet, and keeps you shots under about 125 yards.

my thoughts also^^

i would use the 22 mag. it may be under powered but for ur situation i would use it. if we r all being honest with ourselves, i could be wrong, but if a yote was at 50 yds. i doubt many would hesitate to take a shot if the mag was layin there beside us.

i have a 17Hmr it goes faster and more accurate then the .22 mag and a descent penetration ,i bagged a couple coyotes since i got it 1 month ago from alittle over 100 yards

sell33 · 02-25-2008, 01:28 PM

What ammo would you use for 22 wmr on yote? i am thinking winchester 34 gr. jhp? any better ideas?

Not sure which is best but I have 40gr solids and 30 V-Max.

I have a Remington 700 in '06 and a Mosin 91/30, but no place to shoot coyotes. And what the hell would you want the pelts for? Leave 'em to rot, good bait for attracting more of 'em.

sell33 · 02-25-2008, 06:59 PM

Around here you can sell the pelts for about 15-20, well thats just when we take them to someone, no work at all they skin them and everything....thats winter at least i doubt they are worth anything in summer
