No, most consider it too light of a round. Most consider the.223 a good starting point for coyotes, but some say a .22 magnum will suffice.Excellent head shot! Would a .17 hmr be a decent coyote round?

Nice shooting. What did you do with the pelts?
Just a bit of info on the coyote.
They are the #1 carrier of k-9 distemper , they carrie mange and many other nasty diseases that can and will be transfered to domestic animals.
They feast on domestic dogs and cats and have been know to kill humans when given the chance.
They will kill live stock such as sheep , goat , cows , chickens and many others.
They overpopluate to uncontrollable numbers in many location through out the United States.
The kill red fox and reduce their numbers to almost nothing in many areas. like the area I live and hunt.
They are just about as bad as the cockroach!
Sure I like to listen to them but I also like to see red fox and other wildlife that the coyote thinned to the point that almost none exsist in certain areas.
So what do you do with the carcass when you are finished? Also, what are the pelts worth?
