What would you like for an upper midwest calling rig? Coyote almost 100% of the time with foxes as target of opportunity.

Figure a lot of farm edges, UP timber and likely not the wind you see out west or in the plains. Winter time calling with ranges that aren't really likely to go beyond 300.

I'm starting to plan/budget such a rig. Want to anchor coyotes without blowing the hide to hell. If prices up - save, if not, I want to tan them for camp decorations etc.

I was originally thinking an original Montana in 223 but they don't make them anymore.

So what's next - if not going light and more "standard" weight for a rifle, 223? 17 Hornet? Would a 22 Hornet punched K work?

I have a stripped AR15 lower still but that option REALLY doesn't entice me. Very little appetite on my end for an AR for this.
