One of my favorites things to do is coyote hunt. With four kids and the demands of the family I haven't been able to get out as much as I would like. I end up saving all my kitchen passes to go deer and elk hunting.

Here are a few of the coyotes I have taken the past couple of years with my 243 WSSM rifles.

This coyote was my 3rd or fourth coyote I had ever taken. 2001 25-06 Rem. Remington BDL  100g Nosler Partition 191 Yards

My first double. I have had the barrel fluted on this rifle since this photo was taken. 2005 243 WSSM Browning A-Bolt Stainless Varmint Laminate, 24" barrel 75g Hornady V-Max Handload 3440 fps 50 yards and 132 yards

Hunting with my good friend Clint. This coyote was disemboweled. 2005 243 WSSM Winchester Model 1885, 28" barrel Bushnell Elite 4200 4-16x 75g Hornady V-Max Handload 158 yards

Hunting with my good friend Clint. 2006 243 WSSM Browning A-Bolt Stainless Hunter Laminate, 22" barrel Bushnell Elite 3200 3-10x SA 55g Nosler Ballistic Tip factory load 4080 fps 280 yards

During the summer of 2010 I took a couple more coyotes with my Winchester Model 1885 243 WSSM rifle. You can read about this in my 243 WSSM Model 1885 Coyote Double journal entry.
