Over the years while spring turkey hunting, there have been plenty of times where I could have killed coyotes if...

1. The season was open.

2. I had my 17 with me.

I plan to carry both the shotgun and 17 with me next spring. If I have a shot at a coyote that is too far with the shotgun, I'll use the 17.


The shot gun will be legal for turkey, and the 17 will be legal for coyote.

I also see that 22 mag is now legal for state land.
