Scott, I thought I was the only one who is barred from washing clothes and dishes! ! Now I don't feel so bad.
A little Ruger stainless Mini-14 Ranch Rifle might be the ideal tool for your needs. Pretty small, the clip makes it quick and easy to load up fast, (as well as keep it safe from children with clip removed), and is pretty accurate.
The coyotes are starting to increase around here as well. They are not so bold as to come around the house yet though. The dern things are so crafty and shy that it is rare to get close enough for a good shot. It is when they start hunting in groups that worries me. Anything is fair game with them (pets included) if they think they can take it.

Murf, we must have posted at the same time. I like your idea with the propane better! Would be nice if this method worked with care thieves! Only thing is around more populated areas, you'd have to be really careful about kids messing with the trap and getting injured. I could see how that contraption could scare the living daylights out of you! ! You have a devious mind Murf!

Murf, I would love to see a picture of that machine when you get it finished. Sounds like a very practical idea.
Ken, I am not sure but in my area, Walmart still sells rifles and shotguns. Next time I am in there, I will check on some prices. I purchased a stainless and blued Mini-14 many years ago from the Rod & Gun club in Germany and I paid about $435 for the stainless and about $375 for the blued barrel. I also have a Mini-30 which fires 7.62mm x 39mm aka SKS & AK-47 ammo that is not a bad choice either. The ammo is cheap anyways. I used to buy it in bricks of 1350 for around $79. I am sure those prices have changed. Even a good bolt action would be more than ample.

Ken, if you keep an eye out; you can catch stores like TSC that have "get you in the door" specials on .22 semi-auto rifles real cheap. I got my Marlin-Glenfield .22 semi-auto 18 shotter with a scope many moons (about 33 years I think) ago at Zayres before they went out of business for $39 but stores like Walmart, TSC, and others still have similar sales. These rifles are very inexpensive and are accurate enough for what you want to do. The Ruger 10/22 you mentioned would do just fine. Alot easier on the ears too as you suggest. I would suggest you stick with the .22 long rifle hollow points. I have made consistent accurate shots up to 100 yards with these, although 50 - 75 is more reasonable.
