You learn that "tailgunner" trick when you walk through a fresh snow with no tracks on it as you go into the stand site. Then when you return through that area on the way back 30 minutes later there are smoking hot coyote tracks crossing the ones you made on the way in... things that make you go hummmm!


Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

I'm far from the most experienced person when it comes to coyotes but I think you would be taking 2 steps backwards by swapping a 6-18x onto the gun. Thats alotta scope power for a critter that seems to magically pop out of nowhere 20yards away.


I'm going to leave the 3-10x44mm scope on it for now. This rifle has always been my "varmint rifle". If the coyote hunting works out, I'll probably have to set up a dedicated coyote rifle.

If you guys are allowed to do so in the non-Bloomberg controlled areas of your state, you might consider an accurate AR with a 1.5-5X or a 2.5-8X for a dedicated coyote carbine.

To purchase a Remmy VTR with the 24" barrel and no Muzzle Brake, you have to go to Cabelas. They have an exclusive deal with Remington. No one else can sell them!!!!

My coyote rifle is a Stevens model 200 in .223 Rem with a 4-12X40mm Leupold scope. It's shoots about 0.5-0.75 MOA with the right ammo. Just picked up a new shotgun for the close in stuff. It's a Mossberg Ulti-mag 12 ga 3 1/2".

This is my buddy and his Sako .223, he used it on deer this year and was satisfied. He could wallpaper a barn with coyote hides he has harvested.


I like to do my hunting BEFORE I pull the trigger!

Whelennut,

Nice dogs and great rifles.



My coyote rifle is a basic Remington 788 in .243 Win. Burris FFII 3-9x40 scope.

I recently posted this on a previous thread, but here it is again...

This is what I'm using on windy days or really cold days when I'm wearing a lot of clothes and I want a gun with a shorter length of pull. My daughter's M7 in 257 roberts.

Damn! That is one beautiful .17 SS.

Is that blueprint posted in the Custom Rifles forum?

Wookie,

Maybe it's just the camera angle but that rig looks like it was built for a giraffe??
