[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 794370, member: 35183"] For most coyote hunters, fur is absolutely worthless. Nor is there any bounty on them. Its not about money, but rather the cost of killing the critter. I would not hesitate for a second to shoot a coyote with my 1953 or 70's milsurp 8x57 ammo which cost $150/900 rounds back in the day. Nor would I hesitate to take the shot with DAG 147gr 7.62x51 and I'm pretty sure that a hit just about anywhere on that coyote is going to kill it faster than anything that comes out a 223 barrel, regardless of what it is called. I have seen coyotes hit by 308 rounds where the fur was split open for 6-7 inches by the hydraulic shock. The video with the ballistic gel tells the story, the myth about pencil wounds is a 223 related phenomenon. This video [url=http://youtu.be/tku8YI68-JA]9mm vs .45 vs Rifle A Dr's View of Gunshot Wounds - YouTube[/url] provides excellent insight into the difference between handgun and rifle wound significance.
