I can understand the trend toward hunting with AR-style rifles for predators given the leaps forward in accuracy and the number of new choices for this type of weapon.
But 77 percent of you use them as your primary predator gun? Shocking. Of course, my poll is a small sample size, but still, I’d have bet my open-reed cottontail tube that bolt-action rifles would win this particular vote. Bolt guns received 15 percent of the vote, and shotguns tallied 8 percent.
Single-shot rifles did not register a single vote. As an aside, I killed a Missouri coyote with a T/C .223 a couple winters ago. Nice rifle. The footage from that hunt was captured for Drury’s Predator Madness 3. First time I dropped a coyote on film.
Anyway, thanks for your votes and continued interest in this site. Soon, our season will be on and I’ll be out there screamin’.

Sayin you killed it with a TC is like sayin you killed it with a stick. What kinda stick? Hickory? Oak? Maple? TC makes more than a half a dozen guns and or barrels in .223.

I think it was a willow branch, but it might have been a sumac whip.
Seriously, I don't remember for sure, because it was a borrowed rifle that belonged to the cameraman on the hunt. I believe it was a Contender.
I've hunted with many different rifles and calibers, which is one of the perks/curses of the job. It's nice to be able to try a lot of different rifles, but you never get comfortable with any of them.
