[QUOTE="strombeckj, post: 565254, member: 28471"] tdregs13, I would suggest that you go to sites that are geared more towards predator hunting and you will find that if you wish to save the pelts many professionals use .20 and .17's with no problem. the .243 is a GREAT round for coyote hunting and I LOVE my 6mm-06 but it is not FUR friendly at all, it will drop a yote dead in it's tracks and I use if for predator control mainly on a couple of ranches here in CO. I grew up in MN and can't imagine shots past 200-300 yards. Most my kills are less the 75 yards as the coyote is committed to my decoy and caller or they are further out on coyotes that are hung up. A bad shot with any caliber of rifle will result loss of coyote or severe pelt damage. which is a lose/lose A AR plat form would be what I would lean towards for a dedicated coyote gun great bullet selection with .224's and quick follow ups if a bad shot is taken. Coyotes are small and don't take much to tip them over when the shot hit's the intended mark. There are great articles on predator control in housing areas using .25 call pellet guns out to 50-75 yards. Jon [/QUOTE]
