I'm just getting back into hunting again...I missed out on this year's deer season but would really like to start coyote hunting soon. I have a couple buddies that have hunted them before but need your opinion's on what rifle I should take out with me.
1-Marlin 30-30 lever action (if I take this rifle I will need to take some time and see if the scope is still sighted in).
2-DTI AR 15 currently has no optics so I'd have to rely on just the irons. I want to get a good red dot optics but not sure how well they work for coyotes?
3-Savage 93R17 .17 HMR. This is currently my most accurate rifle I have. The thing is a nail driver but is the .17 HMR good for coyotes is my question?
Coyotes here seem to be very big...I hit one early in the morning 2 months ago with my car. The yote weighed just over 60 pounds.
Again I've never really tried coyote hunting so its all new to me, I just want to make sure I have the right tool for the job. Thanks!
