I am in Eastern Washington and I've always hunted big game such as deer and elk but I have recently taken in interest into Coyote hunting. My dilemma is that I only have big guns and don't want to completely destroy the yotes. What is a good accurate gun that is legal to shoot both deer and Coyotes in Washington that won't necessarily break the bank?

Welcome to the forum renstromt
I don't know your reg's as far as caliber requirements for deer, but I would say that a 243win would most likely fill the bill. It is not the most fur friendly round out there but by using careful bullet selection and shot placement they work quite well.

Welcome to PT renstromt. A lot of the guys are getting into a 204 and the 223s. Any of the centerfires .22 to 6mm calibers will do the trick. Some of us won't give up our old timers though....

You've gotta have at least a 24 caliber or 6mm center fire for deer in Washington
