Will a .22 take down a coyote?




Answers:

Can I get some statistics on shooting sports?

A .22LR really won't with one shot. The round is too light and chances are you are shooting at a moving target. If your hell bent on shooting coyote, try a .223 (5.56mm) or a 7.62X39mm Russian Short. If you want to stay with a .22LR go with a Ruger 10/22. Or with the other cal. find an autoloader that will fit your budget. Good luck and happy hunting:)

What would be the better down jacket?

Sure will. Place it right behind the ear...like flickin' a light switch. He'll never know what hit 'im.

(Seems like some folks have no idea about firearms.)

Super 9 Airsoft?

No. In fact if it catches you trying to do that it will rape you.

Where can I find cheaper water shoes?

psh no it would take down a rabbit small animals only

Camping... camping...?

Who cares? Don't go out and shoot defenseless animals for the hell of it.
It's WRONG. If you're that damned hungry, go to the grocery store and buy some meat. There's no reason to kill another animal who hasn't done anything to harm you.

Where can i find a German Luger?

if it's a semi-auto and your trigger finger can repeat quickly (*as in you're a video-game player?) prolly, because only an idiot would hunt anything other than a bunny rabbit/squirrel with a .223...man up and buy a real gun...

What is the most reliable paintball gun to buy under 300 $$$?

What characteristics give a trout stream a "blue-ribbon" designation?

ive seen a .22 take down a buck deer over 200 ilbs so yea it should take out a little coyote.

What should be brought along to the lake?

You have to be pretty close then it's possible, not probable if you hit it in the right spot. If you want to kill a varmint of that size humanely, use a .22 caliber highpower they are a bit expensive but they are fun and it will give U a fast, clean kill.

I think that 7.62's are too big but my uncle uses an SKS those are cheap rifles to varmint hunt with...

On a side note, it seems that particular people hate seeing wild animals hunted but do not care that ones in captivity get slaughtered on a daily basis. Sheesh, it's amazing what perspective can do.

What version of the Spyder Victor is this?

um yea! like zippy, right behind the ear!

I have a Chinese SKS with a screwed in barrel. Is this better than a pinned in barrel?

With proper bullet placement, a .22 will kill most any critter up to and including whitetail deer. Behind the ear works great, but is a very small target. Better is a simple heart/lung shot that will kill, just not as quickly. I have seen coyotes killed at 100 yards by a .22 and I have killed 2 deer with a Browning Buckmark .22 pistol(both at close range 10 yards or less).

Will the .223 drop squirrels with one well placed shot?

you would be lucky if a .22 would take out a rabbit or a bird.

What is assult/?

Like the others said, if properly placed it could do the job. Most likely a well placed head shot.

And to that previous schmuck (supergrumpers), why would we buy chemical pumped, dyed meat that has been sitting in a grocery store for weeks, when we can have the best free range meat known to man? Venison and Moose meat baby.YUMMMMM!

Has aneyone camped at mammoth lakes ? Need a camp ground to stay at never bin there can any one help .?

a .22 can kill anything, given the right circumstance. A single .22 rimfire shot to the brain up close is pretty well always lethal. A coyote is a small, quick and agile animal, so it doesn't have any real heavy bone or muscle mass, so virtually anything will penetrate their bodies. A .22 centrfire is a much better choice, with more power and a better bullet, giving you a much longer range. Usually getting close enough to coyotes to hit them is the hard part. The quentessential perfect coyote gun is a good quality bolt action in .22/250 caliber, with a 3-9x40 scope. If you live somewhere where coyotes are shot at often (so they are smarter, and keep farther away), you might stretch things out by using a .243 or a .25/06, but anything else is too heavy.

How do you load a CO2 airsoft gun.?

What do you think about 357 sig caliber?

I have successfully taken one coyote with a Mossberg carrying a X6 scope. I did it for both bounty and to see if it were practical. After the one shot kill, I looked at the animal for damage. The shot didn't make it through the body and the wound track was very small, exhibiting very little hydrostatic shock damage.

I put the Mossberg back in the case and got out my Ruger Mini-14 in .223. Now that will take coyotes with much more efficiency. I pass on shots over about 150 yards unless I have my varmint rifle. A 7MM Remington Mag with 140 grain slugs will reach out and touch them. Just like AT&T...

Hope my experience will help you make a selection. What ever you choose, have a good safe hunt.

Looking for (leinad revolving derringer model mr).?

mini 14 mini 14 mini14 they Will take out all varmits. long and short range.same round as the m 16 ,ar 15, If you can see it you can hit it and ammo's fairly cheap. Rarely will you have a Jam. You can't beat this gun as a weapon, or a varmit rifle, in fact I have brought down two bucks with my ranch rifle. There are so many accessories for these guns, it should be in your gun case.

What is the best 22. Calibur hunting rifle for the price?

There is a big game hunter (who's name escapes me at the moment) that claims to have dropped everything on 4 legs sans a Cape Buffalo, with .22 caliber rifles There is some truth to it as I've read scattered articles about him over the years. A well placed shot..in some of the bigger bruisers nothing short of an eyeball shot, insuring brain trauma, will do. Nosler has recently introduced a .22 cal centerfires. (You don't mention rimfire or centerfire in your query.)
Nosler announces a 60 grain partition bullet designed for big-game hunting with .22 centerfires. The .224" 60 grain spitzer bullet delivers maximum retained energy at hunting ranges, high-sectional density of .171 for deep penetration and a ballistic coefficient of .228 for flat trajectory and less wind drift. The impact-extruded dual core construction resists core slippage and post-impact bullet deflection. Partition bullets are built around a concentric and uniform jacket for maximum accuracy potential.

A word or two of caution..ALWAYS have an equalizer. Nothing wrong with having a 44mag or bigger with a 4-6" barrel taking up leather space on your side. Also..check on local laws regarding hunting, type of game and allowed guns. Some states frown on folks going after mule elk with peeshooters and such. The greater concern is a wounded animal becoming a problem.

Good hunting my friend.

I have never been backpacking and I want to know how do you bathe or do you?

Christina C will you marry me? Just kidding, anyhow I wouldnt use a 22 for coyote at any range. I have used 22 winchester magnum hollowpoints(your rifle must be chambered for these) with some luck on coyotes, but I would recomend a 223(5.56x45) for this task.
