What have you killed predators and varmints with?

[xphunter]

You guys got this started, so this subject matter came to my mind.
I will chime in later, but I will say, I have used some big cartridges for prairie dogs

Three Coyotes all with a 270 Winchester.
Ol’ Elmer Keith was right. It is a “Damn adequate coyote rifle “

LOL! Pretty much whatever was with me when I decided to shoot a varmint...

.204 Ruger - zippy little rascal
.22 rim fire, handgun or rifle
.223 Rem
6mm Rem (lots of varmints!)
.25-06
7mm Rem Mag (a mighty fine coyote rifle!)
.308 Win
.30-06
.300 Win Mag (factory 150 grain soft points on ground squirrels...)
.375 H&H with a 300 gr SPBT Sierra... (unfortunate rock chuck at the police firing range)

Some with a bow

Some with the .38 Special & .357 magnum
Occasionally something with the .44 mag or .45 ACP

Poor Varmints!

 

[cloverleaf]

Oh guys, you missed a big one..... by FAR the most was with a Crossman 760 in .17 Cal. Almost as many with a Daisy model 96.... The Badgers were quite an adventure. The equivelent of tying into a rhino with a .22. The skunk dosent count cause he was already in a trap. CL

I’ve only killed 1 bobcat and that was just an opportunity that walked by while I was bow hunting Actually the first critter I ever shot with a bow. When I was 16-17.

Numerous coyotes with whatever I had. AR-15, 22lr, 280 Rem, crossbow, 22-250.

 

[Blkram]

Actually,
my first bow kill was a pine marten! Like your bobcat, just because the opportunity presented itself,

Woodchuck

Coyote
223
308
35 Whelen x 2
The ones shot with the Whelen were extra crunchy when I grabbed them to drag them off

 

[Firebird]

Mostly .17 hmr or .223 with 55 gr ballistic tips or 65 gr gamekings. But I’ve done afew with archery and bigger rifles when opportunity comes loping along.
Cougars and bobcat have all been archery. . .

 

[Charlie-NY]

GROUNDHOGS:
I literally shot them with everything I owned between 17HMR and 460Wby mag.

However, I killed the vast majority of my longrange hogs with a 22-243AI.

 

[desertcj]

12 ga-squirrels, grey fox, bobcat
22 lr-squirrels, rabbit
.222-squirrels
.223-squirrels, coyotes
.243- 1 unlucky rabbit!
7mm-08- 1 unlucky coyote!

 

[JD338]

I've got one to add...
375 H&H Mag 270 gr Speer SPBT works well on woodchuck.
