[QUOTE="ducky, post: 2176318, member: 94420"] You have time before pelts are good again, so no big deal using bigger guns right now. I'd look at something more frangible than Barnes bullets though. I'd also use a 12ga with #4 and an exta full or specialized choke for close in encounters. I use the .223 a lot when I call, but the .204 Ruger and .22-250 are great coyote calling cartridges as well. I like light fast bullets that dump energy quickly. 50 grain or lighter HP Sierra or Nosler is usually my choice, if you get a frontal shot I've never had an exit and often don't have one on a broadside beyond 100 yards with the .223. I've had no issues using fast and light to 400 yards or more. Often times a bobcat or fox comes to the call as well. If they hangup outside if shotgun range you're going to need a .17 caliber or .22 rimfire to not have significant pelt damage IME. For those I'd be looking at .17 HMR, WSM, Hornet, Rem or .17-221 FB. The .22 WMR with 30 grain HP or V-Max works well out to 150-200 yards on cats and fox. [/QUOTE]
