Title: Fun Question
Post by: Rudy on January 12, 2010, 05:15:18 PM: Ok coyote hunters, this should be a fun thread and spark some friendly debate.

What is the smallest round you would find suitable for coyote hunting. Keep in mind, we dont want to be shooting the dogs 20 times to bring it down. I'm talking to smallest round that would still give you a good chance at that one shot, clean kill.
