Coyotes and wolves; I keep an eye out for them all day, every day. I have the Savage 24 in 222 Remington and 20 GA, also makes for a good turkey gun. Do you use an electric call for coyotes?

Pap, I use an OLT rabbit distress call and a squirrel distress call. No electronic stuff.
State forest regs prohibit any caliber larger than 22 mag in rifles and for shotguns no slugs or shot larger than #2.
My go to for the coyotes is a 16 ga Stevens single shot rescued from a dumpster many years ago. Shot size that I use is #4 and with the modified (shortened bbl) and other upgrades I gave it, it is really light.
Touch off a round and you know something "had occurred" Patterns quite tight out to 40 yards.

No, don't load anymore. Still have my old Rockchucker setup, but none of the family ever expressed an interest in reloading, so it sits boxed up in the basement. I don't shoot the 222 enough to warrant reloading.

I've done a bit in the past, haven't had the time lately, with 17 Rem or 223. 17 Rem and 30 grain Bergers, when they used to make em, did the job extremely well. 20 grain V max and woodchucks are quite fun too...

That sounds like a very cool old tiney rifle, and just the ticket for a Buffalo. What sights do you have on it?

At my aging eyesight, I need a peep sight on non scope rifles. Sounds like a really cool rifle. Hope you draw.
