Recently moved to a more rural area and now have a large coyote problem. I’m wondering what would be my best option for the removal of those coyotes. What are your guys thought or experience with using and AR vs bolt?

I use a 556 but shoot 223's out of it , I use a AR for yote hunt'n .... My son - inlaw uses a 22-250 for yote hunt'n... Either will work for your needs... If you want a good duel gun I would think of a 243 that way if the rule changes on deer hunt'n it will work for yotes and deer...
As much as I love bolt action rifles, I think if I had to choose one, it'd be an AR. They are so versatile and have so many options and accessories that they are pretty close to a one-size-fits-all anymore. More than accurate enough to thin the coyote population, and low recoil/semi-automatic means quick follow-up shots on multiple targets (and missed single targets).
What's your budget, and what range do you expect to be removing these coyotes from?
I'm thinking somewhere between the $700-$900 price range, and for the range naturally i try and get them a close as possible but wouldn't imagine anything over 150-200 yards
Thanks everyone for the responses, i think I'm gonna go with an AR just for the ease of follow up shots. Plus I've always wanted to build one so i believe I'm gonna go that route as well. Prices seem a bit cheaper too. Now does anyone have any experience with the PSA kits?
