.223 for coyotes?

[Sistema1927]

.223, coyotes, and college; a combination that brings back memories.

Way back "in the day" (1974-75) I paid for my first two semesters at UTEP, shooting West Texas coyotes with one of the first Mini-14's to come from Ruger. I had a Weaver V9 on a home brew mount, and found that I could reliably make head shots from prone out to 300 yards.

What is interesting is the fact that I took this rifle to High School, and did a little show-n-tell in the school parking lot with the assistant principal when he saw it in my gun rack. We won't see those days again, sigh.

In WA State & Montana, I pursue them from Nov to March, but if it warms-up, it doesn't take them long to start rubbing.

Well, the yote hides here in the South are mangy year round. Guess it doesn't get cold enough long enough for a good winter coat to grow. Mostly we view them here as like rats on the range. Good luck with that comforter. I don't even use a blanket in the winter here. Just doesn't get that cold...
