[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1881470, member: 109113"] I've never weighed a dead coyote, but I would guess that most I've shot were more like 30 to 35 pounds. I've shot a lot of skinny little ones, too - mostly in Old Mexico and southern California. 20 pounders are pretty common around San Diego. The only really big one I ever was in northwestern Minnesota, and it looked do be about 50 pounds. That is not confirmed on a scale - just my best guess. My buddies back in Pennsylvania have killed some real monsters. One guy shot a [I]female [/I]that weighed 66 pounds. It wasn't the biggest 'yote they had shot, either. Most of those get called in and shot with a shotgun; some get taken out with rifles. The 22-250 is pretty popular for that. The big one I shot in Minnesota was taken with a 12-gauge slug gun. A 1-1/4 ounce slug makes then very sick every time. Once on a deer hunt there, my buddy Todd shot one that mostly black. Not a big one; just your standard-sized dog. A 45-caliber muzzle-loader fixed his wagon. [/QUOTE]
