.223 Fur Friendly Loads
I have not found any 22/250 bullets that are "Fur freindy" most of the time, a 223 sure. Better yet, a 17 Hornet.- D4570

Any ice yet?
Yesterday, north of Tiber, we were in -17* and 6" of snow, calling coyotes. The lake was too low to launch a boat, even if it was not freezing on the edges.- D4570

3/4 ton 4x4 recommendations
I would say either the Ford or GMC Gas or diesel. If you're in it, "6 Months" Diesel. I'm a little bit partial to Ford.- D4570

Best Reusable Game Bags?
My wife makes all our bags. She uses cotton or linen Bed sheets and pillow cases, used. When they get mucked up or ripped, we toss them. We get several washings and multiple uses out of them.- D4570

What is acceptable accuracy in your opinion
I always try to get the best I can with a particular chambering. I want to say an inch. BUT. When you are shooting a target, you have a Point to aim at. On game, you don't. You have to "pick" a spot and pull the trigger. I'm more concerned with hitting that spot. Take a full-size target out and...- D4570

Scope for 22-250
WOW, how many coyotes do you shoot at 800 yards, that's a half mile, and maybe on someone else's land??? -
Scope for 22-250
Shooting coyotes, probably 80% of your shots will be under 200 yards, some at 50. If you sight in about 2" high at 100, you will be "just" hold on target, and you're in the kill zone out over 300 yards. I use a Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9x40mm Riflescope $299 On mine. It's light and fast, no... -

243 energy
You will never get a load out of a 243 that is fur friendly, but the kill coyotes lights out. Try a 55 gr ballistic tip or varmageddon for coyotes... -

243 energy
Drop down to 95 or 90 gr Barnes or hammer bullets and ramp up the 243. Check the energy tables, it makes a 243 an outstanding deer round. I shoot a 6mm Rem and with an 85 gr TTSX Barnes at 3600. It's lights out on deer as far as 450 yards.
