A 12ga is only good for about 50 yards at most, so you better get pretty
close.



It is not a goal of coyote hunters to kill cleanly with one shot. If you
simply wound the animal and he slinks off and dies that is good enough.



At that, it would be intersting to see how a liot handles the recoil
while controlling the airplane.

He doesn't. The shooter sits in the back.



I would imagine a CAR-15 or Ruger Mini-14 is used quite a bit.

Only by the idiots. A shotgun is the way to go.



News you've obviously never hunted coyotes for the hides. And Matt,
you've most likely never shot coyotes with a 3 1/2 inch Mossberg Ulti-Mag
with 4 buck. I've killed "song dogs beyond 50 yards" calling them in with
turkey calls.

Not from an ultralight aircraft, no. Too, virtually all of my shotgun
hunting is upland, not waterfowl.

The 22-250 Ackley is my weapon of choice for long range predator hunting.
The bullet leaves a vapor trail on a humid morning. A 4200 fps screamer.

I have used a .25-06 in a heavy barrel Win M70 (pre-64) using 87gr Sierras,
and have nailed several at approximately 600 yards.

Ruger Mini 14 Ranch rifle with legal 30 round clip
Bennelli and Mossberg 3 1/2 inch 12 gauges

Remington 22-250 varmit special
Thompsom Center Contender with a variety of barrels including 22
hornet.... need I go on?
Oh and a Cherokee 140

My .22-250 at present is a Savage M12-VSS with a Leupold Vari-X III
6.5-20x50mm LR Target which was tweaked by a local smithy. It's the only
vaminter I still have.

Hey, That's what I have on the Ackley Improved!
600 yds. is very impressive with any combo.

I've nailed coyotes with it at 600, but my son has taken prairie dogs at
that range. He uses Sierra 77gr HPBT Matchkings and completely reworks the
cases.

I watched him through a 40X spotting scope and could barely make out the dog
standing in the burrow. He shot it in the ass and it cartwheeled in the air.

He's off in the Navy now, and he was the only kid who enjoyed varminting. I
miss that.

If he's in the Navy SEALS he is still shooting varmints at
long range. Tell him good luck and thanks.

No, Chemical Engineer, (LT(jg) ) in Virginia.

He went to college on a shooting scholarship. When I picked him up for
Spring break one year, I chatted with his coach (1968 Bronze Olympic medal,
23 years USAF shooting instructor). He said he'd seldom seen anyone hold a
rifle so rock steady.

I hold it more like Barney Fife.

The one sport in which men and women compete directly, NCAA
shooting. But PC is making colleges drop the shooting
sports. I'm waiting for the day the President goes to Camp
Perry again, I think TR was the last, maybe Ike went.
