Hunting season is now open in NC. My St. Bernards were raising a rukus this morning, so I looked out to see six coyotes coming out of the woodland. My area is cattle raising and the code is to kill any coyote. So my choices are .22LR, .22wmr, .22-250, .240, 7.65x39, .30-06 or .45-70. I feel good with the .22wmr but need to range it out to 125 yards (it is at 100 yds and the coyotes were at 125-150 yards. Whatcha think? I really don't want to shoot the .45-70, it hurts at my age.
