What do most of you prefer for yotes - AR or bolt action rifle? Also, which caliber do you prefer?
'scuse me while I overthink this.
It depends on temperature. If it is real cold, I prefer the heavier trigger on my AR. If it is warmer, then bolt action. I'd put the dividing line somewhere around 25 degrees. In choosing cartridge, it is important to remember that I'm not even vaguely interested in saving hides, I'm shooting them to turn them from live to dead and that is all. .223 in the AR. Bolt action .. I've used a lot of things in the past. Currently .204. Probably my favorites would be the .204, .220 Swift, 6x.284, and 7mm STW.
