He said he was trying to save the hides
Uhhhh, OK?  But the title says "Your [as in my, me, yours truly's] favorite weapon." Plus he doesn't mention anything about saving hides in the intial post? Just sayin :brew:

But, if the time is taken :4w:  to read all the prior posts, he does go on to say that he would like like to save fur:

Yes I'd like to save the fur and will be hunting predators mainly coyote, hopefully bobcats and if really lucky a cougar.

What? No votes for the 22LR?
I've nailed a lot of yotes in my life and all of them have been with the 22LR with one exception. One yote at about 1200 yards with a 25-06. Everyone there was surprised I got the arch correct on that shot.
Other than that - I would use any caliber in hand  :tup:

Not a fur gun but I have been favoring the 257 weatherby lately

I too have killed a pile of coyotes with a 22 LR but they were all at about 4'.  Great trapline gun but I'll take a little more Umph for hunting them.  I've also killed a few at some really long distances but only becuse they ran that far after a poorly placed shot a lot closer.
After the first shot the rest are just noise.

I like using my 30 06 with ball ammo at shorter ranges the military ball shoots fairly close to my hunting round and the gun is set up the way I like it.

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Shot a yote with a 16 gauge in Kapowsin area during early archery. Had a really nice hide on it! We were so surprised to see if run across the road that we didn't grab the rifles or pistols I just grabbed the grouse killer and let it have it.. it dropped then took off running. Never did find it sadly but it was a very thick coated yote! I think you made a good choice in the .243 since your daughter might want to hunt. It can be an extremely accurate round for close or longer ranges. I personally like my savage model 11 in 22-250 with 55 gr noslers. The rifle is currently set up as a 6mm br though but I would love to poke a 68 gr berger into a yote with it! Good luck!

anyone using a .243 for long range coyotes was curious what loads?  and anyone have a howa kuiu rifle on sale now for 419 seems cheap.  Not sure how good for long range though?
