I was at a trapping event and got to talking with a trapper/predator caller from another state... He was telling me that he used FMJ bullets to hunt coyotes. See they do not blow a big hole in the fur just punch through...
First off I don't even know if you can use FMJ bullets to hunt any game in Pa? That would be a question for one of the PGC and PGC Deputies that visit on here to answer. As you all know FMJ don't fragment...They just keep going. Using FMJ bullets in populated area is just asking for it..
Guy told me that when he shoots a coyote with the FMJ bullets they run a bit and then collapse.. Um sure is not good for the night hunter... Death Runs...Real hard to find a dead coyote at night if they have a death run.. I would think that if it was legal you would have to use the FMJ bullets in the DAYTIME.....Also only in a field that did not have a lot of vegetation in it.. Namely a dirt field recently plowed under by a farmer..
Anyway FMJ bullets for hunting predators... Might be fur friendly but probably are real dangerous....
