Coyote Rifle...Best choice?

If you ask a dozen different hunters you may get a dozen different answers. I use a .22 magnum, scoped, and have dropped coyotes out to about 75-80 yards. My hunting buddy uses a .22 long rifle with a nice Nikon scope (the scope cost 4x as much as the rifle). Another shooting friend just aquired a .204 Ruger. Become proficient with your firearm and learn to be patient while hunting coyotes. Have fun and be safe!
