Fortune, yes a .308 for coyote... I use a 6mm myself.. this was my buddies first time hunting them.
Plus this was not a fur hunt.. this was trying to remove some of the population on my aunts farm that are tearing into her sheep and cattle.
We use what we have.. not everyone has a varmint rifle sitting around.
Oh, and where I was I wouldn't use a .17rem anyway... some shots could be over 400yrds, with a possible wind, that means to me at least a .22 centre fire, or preferably larger.
