Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Got Coyotes?

There are large numbers of coyotes living in the park across the road from my house. I don't see them very often, in fact it's possible that what I am seeing is the occasional wolf (the ones I see seem to be the wrong size and color for coyotes).

If you can keep your pets inside at night that would sure help.

Don't think I would feel comfortable shooting a coyote with a 22LR; that seems too light for a clean kill. The standard coyote rifle seems to start with .22 centerfire, and the most common seems to be .223 assuming there is still any ammo available in North America. A shotgun would be very effective as long as you weren't too far away, so ideal for the ones that get too close and don't seem to be scared away.
