Decided to make a quick morning hunt near Boise this weekend. I found a great spot just as the sun was coming up. About 15 minutes into the stand I put down my binos and saw a flash of tan fur about 100 yds in front of me. I put the gun on her and fired two shots. I think I missed the first time (critter jitters). But she was down : ) Her fur actually looked pretty good for August, but she had an exit wound about 3-4 inches in diameter. I'm shooting Hornady Varmit Express 55 grain in 22-250. I hate to change my ammo because it shoots 3/4 in groupings in my Tikka. It entered behind the shoulder and exited out the abodomen on the other side. My theory is that it was because it is a smaller Coyote (about 20-25 lbs). Does that sound right? Is fur damage something I may have to worry about at closer ranges with this round? Should I maybe think about .223 if I am going to sell the furs? I realize I might be opening padora's box here but any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks guys!
