Smokemaker,
What state do you live in? Many states have reached the point where coyotes have become a real problem, even in CT where I live, we are overrun with them! Coyotes are an unprotected species in most states but you will most likely still need a hunting licence, the Dept. of Fish and Game should be your first search to find the laws pertaining to your hunt.
Your 22-250 is plenty of gun, if the wind isn't blowing any of your BPCR's is better ( like in more fun ) I have shot hundreds of coyotes in Nortern Nevada and Eastern Oregon but any state with lots of BLM land is a good candidate for Coyote hunting. Good luck, it is lots of fun and very challenging.

Smokemaker,
I agree completely with Brant S. in that there are coyotes just about everyplace; this is part of how coyotes conduct their affairs in that they spread themselves out by territorial behavior over large pieces of real estate virtually regardless of cover type, land use or anything else. Thus, with some checking you can probably find coyotes to hunt and landowners willing to let you fairly close to your home. Nevertheless, if you want a fun vacation and just getaway, just about anyplace in the Great Plains or Great Basin country will have coyotes. The coyotes will certainly give you and your sons a good ration of recreation. Your .22/250 is excellent; your BPCR would be good if the wind is manageable and they aren't too far away. The coyotes won't give you any spare chances; your first shot is the only good one they will give you and sometimes even that one can be "iffy." Also, you can check www.predatormasters.com for a lot of good/interesting info on predator hunting.
I gotta warn you though, if you've never done it; this "wolfin" business can be highly addictive.
Regards

Thank you for all your replys..I live in the north east corner of the states.I am living in New York now..Was in PA...MOVED HERE FOR THE FISHING IN THE FINGER LAKES.......
We have coyotes here but not like they say we do..Most of the hunting here is with dogs...We were interested in going out west where we though we would have more fun shooting way out there at them...
Thought maybe we could find a private rancher willing to let us hunt the property..The only other hunt I ever did was bear hunting in Maine...So if you get any idea let me know....John

Hay,
I live in NW Pa. Lots of dogs. There is a camp ground across the street called, Track of the North', Segil Pa. If you visit, I'll take y'all C hunting in the Allegehny National Forest. I do something that not many people do though, I make jerky out of 'em. Good Jerky.

I don't see them very often down this way but they are here for sure. I have seen them as close as 5 miles North of Pittsburgh. Our Game Commission says they had nothing do with the Coy Dogs showing up here in our state but I have no faith in what they say and don't believe a word of it.
LMAO ..... I have made my fair share of deer jerky but dog jerky ..... not so much!
Been a while back but I use to hunt just out past the Heath Pump Station.

I hate rude behavior in a man. I won't tolerate it.
