We have those mangy beasts come around periodically. In fact a few of them got together and were chasing one of my neighbors calfs. I try to shoot 'em when I have a chance - the problem is that I'm usually inside when I see 'em and they're gone by the time I load up and head out the door. For some reason my wife frowns on me shooting out the window

The home office I work out of is on the top floor of our house. It has a nice view, and the ideal situation for hunting would be to poke a rifle out the window and shoot away. Alas, it is not to be - so I have to grab a gun and run down to the main floor and out the door. Usually when they hear the door open they're off and running. On nice days I can sit out and work on the deck - if they come around then I have a gun handy to pop 'em with, but that opportunity hasn't come up yet. One of these days though...

Coming from the burbs I've mostly been a pistol kind of guy - the best rifle I have for a coyote is probably an AR-15. A lot of overkill but at least I've got a real good backstop in the mountain behind us. Maybe I'll pick up a Ruger 10/22 one of these days.

As much as I like the blast cannon idea I just can't get past the idea of watching pieces of the neighborhood dogs go flying across the pasture I need something a bit more surgical.
It's time to buy a good .22 rifle. The Ruger 10/22 and Mini-14 sound like maybe they'd be appropriate - any idea on the going price for those rifles might be?
A few weeks ago there was some discussion here about using CB caps - would those take a Coyote? And, don't laugh, would it be feasible to shoot CD caps out the window when the wife is at work? I have good coyote opportunities at least weekly but those wily bastards always take off before I can get out the door.

Thanks for the info. If I wanted to use .223 I'd probably just stick with my pre-ban AR15. I've wanted a .22 for awhile so the 10/22 sounds like just the ticket. I'd like to shoot out the window and minimize noise while doing it - the cat and dog need their hearing too!

Murf, you're as wiley as the coyotes I want to nail! ROTFLMAO!
I could trap 'em and shoot 'em when in the trap, but there doesn't seem to be much sport in that.

Thanks guys, since I have the luxury of time I'll keep my eyes peeled for some specials. We don't have TSC's out here, but GI Joes, Bi Mart, and Wally World all have specials from time to time. I like to buy from the local gun shops but I gotta say - the service is much better at the chain stores. It seems like the guys in the local shops all have attitudes even when I spend a lot of money there.
