Do any of you hunt coyotes with your airgun? What distance is good with a .25 cal 50 FPE? Is the .22cal capable and at what distance? I have a nice .25 cal on order but I wonder if a .22 cal would work. I mostly shoot targets but I have a pack of coyotes that is going unchecked that frequent my property.
I have neighbors in all directions closets is about 1/8 mile the rest are 1/4 mile I feel .22 LR is not safe and I don't feel comfortable using the .22LR. Hunting the coyotes is not my whole motivation for buying the new airgun I like to target shoot and plan to use it for that most of the time. I am setting up a blind to try and shoot the coyotes distance will probably be 50-60 yards. I plan to try and call them in using an electronic call with scent and possibly some sort of bait. I have several areas on my property I can set up so I am not always calling them to the same place.
Thanks for any info you may provide.
