Statelinerut:  Hi, I'm from Carthridge, about 70 miles east of Nashville.  Last year while visiting my folks I was at my uncles house.  My uncle has always been a fox hunter.  They would go out every weekend and chase foxes with their hounds.  Never catches them, just chases them.  Well in the last 10 years cayotes have moved in and killed or run off all the foxes.  He hates cayotes.  I introduced him to a new sport, shooting them from his back porch.  Cayotes are seen regulerly in his fields behind the house.  Now he sits in the shade in the evening and uses a range finder to range them when they come out. He then shoots them with a .243.  You would think since he shoots them regulerly they would never come back, but he has cattle, sheep, and goats out there, which seems to be an attractor.  My Aunt says his laughs every time he shoot one sounds like an old hen cackeling.  I think it's good theropy for an older gentleman in his mid 70s.
Where is old Joe when we really need him?  Alaska Independence    Calling Illegal Immigrants "Undocumented Aliens" is like calling Drug Dealers "Unlicensed Pharmacists"
What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

camsdaddy, I dont reload, yet :wink: I am currently using the new Fusion 95 grain in my .243. I am getting 1" groups at 100 yards with this round over the counter. Now that might be too much for some on coyotes, but I like the way it performs. Try it out and see if you like it. I dont think you will be dissapointed. Good Luck :D

Oh i totally agree I killed my first and only yote on 12/31/05 with 95gr fusion and was very happy with the results. I am just trying to find a 85gr sierra load to use because I can afford to shoot more.

Cool, another witness to the awsome power of the 95 grain Fusion. What a round. Let us know how the 85 sierras come out, I am also looking to get into reloading and that kind of info would be greatly appreciated. Good luck man. :D

if that worked, try 33.5 grains of varget with a 95-grain Nosler ballistic tip. it shoots less than a half inch in my .243.
