Best coyote gun and gear?

[Donaye37]

Has anyone shot a yote with  .22 mag, will that be powerful enough to drop one?

never a .22 mag but dropped a few with a .22lr at 50 yards or less. So can't see why a mag couldn't do it.

Almost any cartridge will work. I prefer low recoil so I don't lose my sight picture when the gun goes off. Get a good open reed call they won't freeze up on you like a closed reed can. Using shooting sticks or bipod will increase your success. Good luck

I haven't heard anyone say a thing about a shotgun. I might not stay with only a shotgun, but if you have one you can be hunting today. Rolled up a dog at 60 yards using #4 buck a couple years ago.

yep

Look at DFW waterfowl areas once the season is over most will have yotes who are use to hunting cripples. Steel loads, and plugged   gun. But  it can work.

Long range work, .243 across canyons, wind is always blowing over here.
Snow shoeing around canyon rims after the snow flies or calling them in close.  5.56 light gun.

Best coyote gun for the west side.  O/U combo gun with double triggers(no selector to deal with) and hammerless so you can mount the scope low for fast target acquisition.  The biggest problem is hard charging close in coyotes, having instant selection of rifle or shotgun seals the deal.

You can find nice combos under a K.,  Biakal has as 12ga/223 for around &600 new.

That's a great o/u combo. I have been caught out more than once with the wrong weapon, especially hunting westside coyotes. I use a short barreled o/u 12 gauge when the woods are thick.

That's the nice thing about a combo you can reach out across a clear cut if you have to.

Been eyeing something like that for awhile now. Never fails when I walk with the kids for their deer tags, take the shotgun see yotes or take the ar and see grouse.
