New to coyote hunting.

[30BulletHoles]

I hunted coyotes with a .22 when I was a teenager and I wouldn't use one today. If you have a centerfire then use it by all means. If you arent good with the mouth calls there some electronic calls out there for a reasonable price. When I'm hunting during rifle season I shoot every coyote I see, unless I've got a good buck coming in.

Anyone tried the .22 hornet on them?

I haven't tried .22 hornet. I currently use .22-250 and .223.

22 Hornets work very well but keep distance under 200yrds. 223 is a great round to start with.

.223 is a very effective round on yotes.

Coyote trapping with steel is tough. Snares at fence crossings is the most effective, but snares are illeagal in OK. Their noses are incredible, have had most success with setting steel around deer/hog carcass. Make sure the carcass is in as open area as possible, this will help prevent catching other vermin. Calling one in and pulling the trigger on one is a blast though!

On occasion I've been hanging steel at both sides of their fence crossings with some bait tied to the wire. Not the most sucessful set, but at least they normally cross there.

I'll be setting for coons this coming weekend.
