Coyotes are pests not native to much of the U.S. As such they are not protected by seasonal limits. Oh, THOSE coyotes! Hmmm.

The Remington .22-.250 is an ideal cartridge for hunting Coyotes.

Being a person of limited means, I like to use my deer and elk rifle, a customized Pearce Rifle Company Sako Hunter chambered in .270 Winchester.

There are good coyotes and bad coyotes

I'm filing that in the BS file, right next to

immigrants are not criminals, just honest, hard-working people who want a better life for their families.

I'll come a'shootin with you! Criminal coyotes (not the animal kind) would be good target practice.
