Your favorite coon gun is?
« on: January 21, 2010, 10:45:23 PM »
See fur buyers frown on coon being shot with a shotgun.  What caliber and model of gun do you like to shoot coon out of trees?


Me, Ruger Single Six hand gun in 22 LR Rimfire configuration... Um the 22 WMR cylinder is nice when your guiding and do not want to carry a long gun. Also might be nice to pop a red and or a grey sith the 22 WMR Single Six during twilight conditons close...If they do not know your there and they are sitting there and close...

Love the Sngle Six for checking the trap lines too...

when running hounds a cricket chambered in .22lr was used.  I would say any of the rimfires would work good. I would opt for a .17hmr or a .22mag in a marlin or savage bolt action personally.  I do not know many that go out calling coon just because
