Thanks for the reply, I'm pretty sure we aren't allowed to use those in AZ but I could be wrong, I do know it is illegal to use leg hold traps here. 

I'm hoping my last two replies maybe helps describe my situation better. I'm comfortable with discretely managing the squirrel population and it's legal and safe to do in the location that I do it. I don't think it would help anything by talking with my neighbors about the squirrels, and I don't...

Thanks Batman2, Totally valid points! I know the neighbors well enough and know that they aren't anti-hunters, some of their family members hunt and have talked to me about it and the dad over there swears he seen a Mt. Lion several times (probably just a bobcat) and told me if I hear gunshots...

Thank you Radio for the reply! I live on the outskirts of town on acreage that is backed up to a large mountain range on the west and north side of the property with no visible houses. The neighbor I'm concerned about is the closest residence to me and they share my eastern fence with about 200...

Just a ironic sidenote... The wife, my 7yr old daughter and I were outside burning marshmallows on the fire listening to all the New Years celebrations in the distance when my kid looks past me and yells "Coyote"! LOL! Sure enough I turn around to see one of these damn coyotes standing head on...

Thanks Cannonball, just in my short time here it's already evident there are a bunch of good folks here willing to help! I have not been inside AOA yet but I will likely buy my gun from them, I don't live too far from their store. My gun picks are solely off research and reviews, I have never...

Thanks for the reply, Ya one of my options was to apply for another suppressor and set up a .22LR and keep it by the door just for the coyotes. Problem with that is I'd be limited on the direction I would feel comfortable shooting a powder burner on my property due to other houses in the...

Thanks! Yep a tank and a compressor on the list to get as well. Was going to check and see if I have any places close by to fill a tank and forego the compressor for now tho but haven't really looked into those items yet. I've bought several cage traps for the squirrels but all were a waste of...

Yep, it's a tuff situation between the different objectives. I've thought about talking to them about the squirrels but thru prior conversations I've had with them I know it wouldn't go well, they love em'! They would have no problem with me shooting the coyotes because it helps out their...

Thanks Mike, For a long time I was dead set on getting the Leshey and if they were in stock back then I would already have one but since then I've learned more about the RTI and the FX and like those just as much and the models I picked would be cheaper for sure! I had not thought about the...

Thanks elh0102, Yep, definitely different and I've thought a lot about just getting the bigger caliber to actually kill the coyotes but curious how much louder is the .30 cal? I was thinking .25 cal would be a happy medium, better FPE than the .22 and higher shot count along with maybe quieter...

Thanks theLBC, the noise levels of the 3 guns I've listed is really something I don't have any knowledge of. Even after watching some of the comparison videos it seems like there can be so many variations between calibers and between the different types of moderators available for each gun I...

Hello from AZ and thanks for checking out my post here! I've never owned a PCP but have been researching and thinking about them for long enough and I'm ready to buy but having a hard time deciding which one! I'm new to PCP's but I've been shooting springers, pumps and powder burners my whole...
