Keep the range short and hit them where it counts, with the 22 mag you don't have room for error. It's kind of like using a 410 for wild pheasants.
I don’t doubt the .22 WMR is capable of killing coyotes. I’ve seen plenty of deer despatched with the lowly .22 LR. Hell, supposedly a record grizzly was dropped with the same thing. That said, from what you all are telling me here I’m even more convinced that the WMR Isn’t up to the job of consent humane coyote kills. So except for special circumstances, it shouldn’t be used for that purpose.NY used to require rimfire or shorgun only at night. Thankfully that has changed. 22 WMR can and will kill a coyote. No question about that. It’s effectiveness has a lot to do with the ability and self control of the guy shooting it. Winchester 40gr JHP are what I used also. I would only use use a 22 Mag if better suited firearms weren’t an option. It is not the first choice of mine or anyone else I know.

Yes, it’s totally illegal illegal here, but that doesn’t mean people don’t do it.Seriously? Plenty of deer? And isn't that illegal in Arkansas (yes it is)?

All over the place. Here in Arkansas. In Illinois, in Virginia, in my home state of Maryland. The .22 LR is the most popular cartridge in the world. Surely it’s no surprise that it’s often used for killing the most popular big game animal in North America, legal or not?And where did you see "Plenty of deer dispatched with the lowly 22LR" ... ?

While I'm not promoting shooting deer with a 22 LR. If that's all I had and didn't have money for meat at the store or couldn't get to town and needed protein , I'd do it in a heart beat. Hard times can happen.Are any of these folks in jail or have their hunting privileges revoked that you saw use the gun on a deer? You did turn them in didn't you?
No. I did not. While I disapprove of their actions, I am not a law enforcement officer and neither am a a snitch. If I know someone is raping a kid, breaking into houses or dealing dope at a school, sure. I’ll report it, but not for shooting deer with a .22.Are any of these folks in jail or have their hunting privileges revoked that you saw use the gun on a deer? You did turn them in didn't you?
