if you had to pick would you use a .22 long rifle or a 20 ga for fox and coyote

20ga....get'em in close though!!

good luck finding premium ammo/copper plated, buffered for the 20ga... and the only buckshot available is #3 which isn't legal... neither one are good choices in my opinion...

I use remington nitro express in mine, yellow color, forget the size. works fine for the animals I have taken with it. 1 grey fox and couple coon and 2 skunk.

thanks
do you think I can use the 22 for fox

220_Woody · « **Reply #5 on:** January 07, 2009, 06:02:46 PM »

a definate 'no' on a 22lr for fox. not enough 'umph' personally. sure you can kill one with a 22...but may take 2 or more shots to put it down.

A well placed neck or head shot would take down a fox no problem. I've taken plenty of fox with my .17hmr.
