Understand Pete.
I use newer technology for coyotes too. My coyote gun for the last 15 years has been a little Remington model 7 in 17 Remington. Before that a .221 fireball contender rifle, and before that a 700 in 22-250.
I really want to get one with my Business rifle in 44-77 PP. Maybe after Christmas I'll get out and give it a try. It seems like the public land coyote hunting in the last 15 years has gotten much harder due to the increased sporting popularity with the younger generation and all the advertising and TV programs on predator hunting nowadays. I'm not a great coyote hunter but 20 years ago I could go out and get a couple in a day which involved a lot of driving, walking, and calling from sunrise to sunset. Loved it! Now I rarely get out and when I do, following a similar routine as I did in the past, I rarely get anything. Now we even have annual coyote hunting competitions in the state and almost every piece of public land has call-educated coyotes, at least for my calling.
Back to the original subject,
For me, since I'm liking the fit and balance of my business rifle so much, I just need to get the sights in order and practice a lot and I think it may fall in "the One" category for BP.
