Looking at really getting into coyote hunting. Which one(s) do the pros on here prefer and why?
Thanks in advance...

Well the yote is one that once you call him you are no longer hunting him you are being hunted. He is smart and crafty and hard to kill with out a doubt. If you can call up and kill 4 or 5 yotes a year you have my complete respect as a hunter. I am also able to have more hunting opportunities as most people don't have the skill to hunt them successfully and nothing excites a land owner who has a yote problem like a dead yote.Not to hijack a thread but what motivates one to get serious about coyote hunting? Just looking for a new challenge? Excuse to get a new gun?
My obsession with coyotes started in 1989 when I saw my first one in southwest Georgia. Been hunting them since. My opinion they are quite possibly the smartest animal in the world. And it may not be so much smart but more insanely cautious and having a very strong desire to live. If you want to match wits with such an animal, coyote hunting is for you. If you don't like to lose, pursue another species. You will be happier and have more money in your pocket.Not to hijack a thread but what motivates one to get serious about coyote hunting?

Somewhat of a new challenge. But also there is a recognized NEED! We are seeing them in daylight hours now. Big, healthy ones too. Local beef farmer has seen them preying on their calves (luckily they have donkeys). We have also noticed a significant drop in rabbits and turkeys over the past few years. Enough is enough...Not to hijack a thread but what motivates one to get serious about coyote hunting? Just looking for a new challenge? Excuse to get a new gun?
Thanks for this feedback. I am leaning .22-250 after further research.My obsession with coyotes started in 1989 when I saw my first one in southwest Georgia. Been hunting them since.
