I did!! he was quartering hard away from me so I aimed at the last rib. I learned a long time ago not to kick sand in ma nature's face when she gives you an opportunity, should make a nice pelt.
Just pickin' bud.... good shooting... I find the .17 a bit light for yotes myself... I like the .223...
oh please, .223 is just a .17 in centerfire dressing, that all
nice shootin' but I was expecting at least few more dead yotes with title like that

have we had a good coyote defence thread lately?
Are you crazy? a .308 was fine 30 years ago but with todays modern coyote you need at least a belted magnum minimum. Don't even get me started on bear....heck no, everyone knows you need at least .308 to put down one of them dogs

Dead is Dead. But it our responsibility as hunters to harvest an animal as quickly and as humanely as possible. I use a .223. My 2 cents.
Years ago on the farm in Saskatchewan we killed a lot of coyotes with a .17 Rem. out as far as 300 yds. without a hitch, never had one run more than a few feet.
When it came time to sell the hide a .17 hole was a lot easier to sell than a hide that had .30 cal. damage.... just my findings.

17 rem vs. 17hmr ...... very different
Ive shot 2 mutts with the 17hrm and they both did the same thing. Hit in the ribs they spun around in a circle like chasing their tail and sat down with a what the he'll was that look around. Second shot in the ear.
I was out ground hoggin both times so they were opportunity shots only. I like my
22-250 with 50 gr Hornady SXSP for nailing them.

22-250 performs similar to the .223 in my opinion, .223 shells are just cheaper. I Don't doubt the .17hmr but i no way can you compare it to a .223. surprised not many people have mentioned the .17 mach2.
Bush mutts killed 2 of our Austrailian Blue Healers on the farm so I'll use a anything at hand to kill those bastards !
Center fire , rim fire , snare I really don't care.
The one I hit with the 35 whelan seemed well hit.
225gr accubond. It was out of the safe at the time. And where we live it's legal to shoot over .270 cal.
17 HMR only if I'm out with it.
I intend to smoke one with the muzzleloader this winter.
