This is my favorite "mutt" gun
50 caliber, so you don't need to do any of that sneaking or calling stuff. Any within a 1 mile line of sight had best worry ALOT
Not alot left of them though when you hit them, it pretty much skins the mutts for you.

The 338LAI works good too but to really get the full picture imagine a 750 gr Amax going up the left nostril of a mutt at about 900 yards. There is just nuthin else like it, a truly mind blowing experience so to speak.
I am far to lazy to skin a mutt any more, all I need to do is brush my dog and I get plenty of fur, so don't bother with skinning the 1s I shoot, hence the go big attitude on mutts.

40 years ago we hunted coyotes a lot in what is well inside Northwest Calgary now... It was best with a foot or more of snow.. we just used our hunting rifles. They gave a good indication in the snow where you missed. Lots of times your first shot was at a coyote running full out at 100 yards and often you would get him as he slowed down to go under a fence 300 yards away.
The fellow I did this with was deadly on running shots. He knew the area very well and the distances...
I saw him shoot once at one running at about 200 yards and then dump it on the second shot at 300 yards. I walked out to get it and he said "check it's ears, I think my first shot hit in an ear"... and sure enough a fresh bullet hole in one ear. His best was one running across a hillside about 600 yards. Third shot got him, he just kept adjusting hold and the coyote kept running in a straight line...
There also were several times we both emptied our rifles without a hit...
I miss those days..

No pictures but....
You guys will notice Im huge on the R93. Currently with my .257 Weatherby Mag barrel with 87 grain bullets at ~3800 fps, I'm up to about 40 coyotes...
The bad thing is that I get complaints when I hand them over to the trapper I know that uses them.... bla bla bla pelt damage.. bla bla bla messy....
