This. Probably don’t need to worry about the twist rate. I have shot a few hundred of these through a youth single shot bolt action 22 and they are very quiet without using a suppressor. If you can’t find the Aguila’s, look for some CCI 22 lr 40grn hollow point subsonic. They are pretty quite out of the same 22.

I'm not sure how far you would have to drive to get the Aguilas, it looks like you can only buy them from a specialty retailer which, I imagine in California, those are few and far between. You can buy the CCIs and have them shipped to your front door. You might want to install a spiral staircase to keep him at bay until your ammo arrives.

The staircase won’t work.

Trust me on this.

Don’t forget to have a disposal plan too. 

Don't bury - hang that sucker on a fence post as a warning to the rest of the pack.

Thanks for that, but I have no fucking clue what my "twist rate" is.  Would you expect an old bolt action to have the required twist rate?

Twist rate won't matter much if it is close range. 

 

In case you need to come up with a strategy to lure it in...

Do you know your neighbors?  Are they cool?  If so, tell them the situation and that you are on a mission to merk this yote.  Even a normal .22lr isn't THAT loud.  Especially when dealing with a predation issue on small pets.  

It's also more ethical.  Subs work, but only at close range.  Think <50yds.  Then you have to make a difficult head shot on a small, fast, twitchy animal.  Being that you have the subs, and the range is close, just aim for the head/neck, but if you have a body shot, take it.  

Biggest thing is don't leave small animals unattended.  Highly unlikely anything happens when an adult is present.  Coyotes aren't ambush hunters like big cats and they are not endurance hunters like wolves.  They are scroungers.  Opportunistic hunters.  Cats are prime sources for them and they operate outdoors; often alone.  Puppy is different.  They are always accompanied.

Yep.  Aunt in rural Coleman county had a bevvy of barn cats.  More than a dozen.  Pack of yotes came through and wiped them out in a night.  She also has geese and Guinea's.  They are smart, opportunistic hunters.

Our hunters we lease to.  Less than 24hrs later.  Cousin used his tracking dogs and they obviously found it....stripped down to the bones.
