Is hunting Coyote in Ct Legal using a 22? I have a Nice Ruger with a good scope and would like to try coyote hunting but not sure if a 22 will kill a coyote sufficently and was wondering if it is even legal in ct.....? Does anyone on hear hunt coyote with a 22? Where do you shoot it, heart/lungs or head?
Thanks

Dont hunt yotes with a .22 mag or .22 long rifle. Not yotes, fox, bobcats, etc. And dont use the .17 HMR

Why so? Many people say they hunt coyotes with them on here.

At the range where it would be lethal, you might as well use a 3 1/2 12 gauge with a turkey choke.

I donthunt coyotes with a .22 ,here in wyoming and western nebraska it is way open and the majority of our shots are over 150 yards soIusually huntwith a .223. I have howeverseen a coyoteSHOT with a .22 mag and .17hmr but that was because it was the only rifle in the truck. The thing about coyote hunting is you dont usually get a close broadside shot soI prefer a gun that can shot farther and do more damage.
