Your task, should you accept, is to help one determine how best to stock up. You see, I've been mulling over some thoughts on my hunting preferences here lately and thought I'd hit the boards to see what others were thinking (and using) as well.
There are many species that I love to hunt, but I want to keep each discussion very focused and very specific. For the purpose of this discussion, my interests here are focused on coyote / bobcat / fox / wolf.
Now here's the meat of my inquiry.... you are to identify the following that you would use:
1) What rifle would you use for each?
2) What bow would you use for each?
I have my thoughts but will chime in later after I see what some of y'alls is! I'll let this discussion run for a while and then compile the responses (along with responses that I receive from other inquiries) and post them up on my blog (and here of course!!!).

My primary choices for predator (and hog) hunting this year will be the two AR's I have recently completed. One in 5.56 and the other in 6.8mm SPC. Don't bow hunt anymore. Bad right elbow won't let me pull a string.
Don't sweat the petty stuff and don't pet the sweaty stuff.

.223 - Coyote/Bobcat/Fox - My Remington R-15 seems to do nicely. Benelli Supernova 3.5" for up close!
7mm Mag or 300 WinMag for Wolf
Don't care to bow hunt any of them at this point.

According to Where and When I am hunting sometimes .17 other times 12 ga shotgun and still others .243 rem bolt action, all depends on distances and brush or open country, Not a whole lot of Open land here where I live.

I like the 223 but also carry a shotgun in case they run up out of nowhere.
