I know this is an older thread, but… Paid for a lot of beer, cigarettes and meals out by coyote hunting in college. Marlin Glenfield M20 bolt action .22lr, all head shots. Got $10/yote from a local fur processor. Drop them in the field, turn them in and get $10. Went to WSU, hunted coyotes in WA/ID border area.
Down here I just use my hog/deer gun, an SKS and 122-124gr pseudo hollowpoint. In deer season use S&B, PPU or Tula psp. A 123gr or 154gr psp anchors them pretty well.
Have also used cheap steel case 9mm 115gr for a couple that were on a gut pile.

How much do they bring now??

 

[Guru]

I like .223, .243 and any .30 cal

 

[Carlos]

For me, it's just whichever one I can get my hands on the quickest.

Remember, shooting coyotes doesn't reduce their population.
that's called syence yall.

Well, 30 minutes ago it was a 6.5 Creedmoor…fastest thing I could grab. I know it's a man bun caliber, but it did the deed at 75 yards shooting offhand.

Head?

How big was the exit?
I was shocked at the one I hit at 80 with a 6.5 .

I had just showered after bush hogging all evening. I'll let you know in the morning if something don't "get him" tonight!

I trap too. My skinned coyotes brought 5.00 dollars each .

Not worth the effort, at least for summer pelts. Price for winter pelts is not much better. Too many mangy, scrawny coyotes. The ones we'd get out west 1991-1994 were large, fat and fuzzy. Buyer wanted them intact save for bullet hole/s.

I'm gonna try a cci velicitor on a chicken stealer we caught on camera.
I'd like to try a 58 grn 243 at 4k! That'd fix his wagon!

how you gunna know if you killed it if you can't find IT

 

[squirrel_hunter]

That was last winter. I won't skin another for 5.00. Big buck mink brought 1.00. I won't catch another for a 1.00.

 

[Bell3wv]

In .223 I like a 50 gr ballistic tip. .204 I like a 40 gr ballistic tip. 45 grain soft point leave too big a hole

That's ridiculous
