Your 'yote rifle and...

1. A high powered handgun such as a 10mm or a .44mag revolver to keep on your person?
2. Do you take a 12g shotgun with something like buckshot in the tube for close in / running foxes and yotes with some slug handy if something large shows up?
3. A large bore rifle (Guide gun in .45-70 or maybe a chunky bolt action like a .338WM or .375H&H)
4. Don't worry about the risk, take a .22lr with subs for sneaky popping of other small varmints
5. You don't worry about it at all and just have your 'yote rifle with you

Hi folks,

Imagine the situation:


You are going out calling for foxes / coyotes, sitting on the ground. You are also in country with bears, bobcats and mountain lions might be encountered.


Main rifle is your trusty .223 Rem, .22-250Rem or .243W loaded with your chosen varmint bullet

Personally, I would probably go with something like option 2 and 12g especially if hunting with a buddy

Let me hear your thoughts
