Ray-MarineOk you all are going to laugh but I like this
I got another rifle to hunt coyotes and deer with. Yes it is a little over kill but it does the job. I am using a 25/06. Boy does it do a number on yotes. I will be going back out tonight. If some one can tell me how I will post pics. I do have a 223 but it just does not have the range and power of the quater bore. Well it is time to go back out and get some.

Ray-MarineNope. Out here in the high desert of southern cali no one wants them. I got one this evening. He was a mess. I forgot to take the safty off when he came running in. By the time I got the safty off he was at 20 yrds. Turned him inside out.

kscoyoteNot laughing here. I use a 25-06 and a 223. I use the 25/06 when in heavy native grass and open country and short open space out to 200 yards I use the 223. I do save the pelts so I like both. Use 87 grain spire pt on 25/06 and does a nice job.60 spire pt on the 223. Hang in there its all relative and its all fun.

Ray-MarineJust got to love the red mist from a coyote. It looked like a PD that had been shot with a 22-250.
