I have an old Hornet , in the process of redoing ( its a bit blackened on the stock and needs new blueing) . I shot a bunch of coyotes and fox with it over the years BUT pick the yote shots carefully . I often had coyotes lost if they were at more than close range . head shots always worked the best but not always possible . Most fox shot at night were taken w/ Ol' Moosedick the Mag 10 . Kinda lookin for something w/ a bit more zip like a .222 or .223 . surely love that old Hornet though .

I use me hornet for woodchucks alll summer long. I love how it shoots and will surely work well for shooting fox and yotes. I would also recommend using a ballistic or hollow tip. Tough to find ammo this day and age though....

What do you all figure is the maximum distance you would shoot at a coyote with your hornet?? 50yards, 100 yards, 200yards? Thanks

I would say 100 yards would be the most accurate for that caliber rifle. Shot placement is more important than anything. The more comfortable and the more accurate, the further I would be willing to shoot.

it would do the trick out to 150 again w/shot placement.
