Fur is not a concern. Do I want the AR style or go with a bolt action?
Depending on how you are going to hunt here in MI it's rare for me to get 300 yard shot. When I hunt over bait from a blind a bolt gun is the way I go, I'am only going to get one shot, my baits are in heavy cover. Calling field edges on timber roads, big timber open woods my AR is my go to gun. Right now here is breeding time and there is a good chance of calling in pairs.
AR or bolt a 223 will do. For 2 seasons I tried 22-250 just more pelt damage than I liked.
I always also have my Benelli loaded with Dead Coyote with "T" shot it will put 45 pellets in a 30" circle at 50 yards.
