Coyotegods: 0.25 that CAN down Coyotes

My name is JW and I am new to this forum. I have been reading some things on here about 909 0.45 and people wondering if a 0.25 will take out a coyote or not. I ran cattle for over 20 years. I have a Sumara 2500 carbine .25 cal, a daq 308, and a 909 .45, and assortment of real firearms. A friend of mine got me into airgunning and it I love it it has become a passion. For starters to something that I read on this forum. Someone was talking about a 909s for coyote hunting but it was for short range. All of my guns are stock, they have not been modified. The 909 .45 will do a 100 yards easy, you can click onto bigboreairguns.com and scroll down to Longrange Airgun Sihouette Shooter Organization and when you clock on to it, it will show the 909 .45 shooting over 100 yards. So I do not know what you mean by short range. I can take coyotes out at 75 yards easily with my 909 s, and I do. With that being said, I will get back to the .25cal. I have a Sumatra 2500 Carbine .25 cal and as I stated earlier I run cattle which means that I have alot of coyotes out on my ranch. I have talked with the guys at Airguns of Arizon and the man I spoke with named Kip, told me that he takes coyotes out with his .25 cal sumatra and it drops them dead. I purchased the Sumatra 2500 Carbine .25 cal and when I first got it I had to chrony it and find the sweet spot on it. My gun which is stock is right under full power, this is where I get the most out of it with out wasting air. I use Beeman Kodiak Match pellets, and the first day that I had this gun I was shooting this gun at 5 gallon buckets that had lids and were full of water. I started out at 50 yards then went to 75 yards and then I maxed out at 115 yards. Though the Sumatra will shoot over that it came up to its limit at 114 yards going thru the 5 gallon bucket of water and going thru the other end. I run this farm, naturally I have farm equipment, and I accedently thru out a bucket that had hydrolllic fluid in it for my equipment. When i shot the bucket, the Sumatra blew the back of it out. Point being hydrollic fluid is real thick and if a 0.25 cal can shoot thru the bucket and blow out the other side it is a devastating gun with alot of powe. Now I have a 350.00 scope mounted on my Sumatra and I use only Bushnell 3200 elite scopes. That might be the only advantage that I have over sombody. I have this scope on all of my air rifles. Back to th epoint at hand on this forum a guy was wondering about the .25 cal airrifles. I do not know about other brandsa but I do now that the Sumatra 2500 Carbine .25 cal will take coyotes all day long. I usually take them between 30 and 75 yards, the trick is to aim at the base of the ear and it will drop them dead in their tracks. I have shot them in the head and the chest, out of the 17 copyote kills with my sumatra I have had to do 2 follow up shots. I hope this helps anyones questions about the .25 cal pcp gun. Feel free to email me or ask Kip at airguns of Arizona if you hav e any questions. One thing that I love about the Sumatra is that I can take anything from a Praire Dog to a coyote. If I really want to get nasty then I pull out the DAQ for long range. I invite anybody that is in the West Texas Area or who will be traveling in the West Texas Area to come take all the coyotes that you wnat I have plenty. I have a Bushnell cam on my Sumatra and would be glad to email pic's or video of my coyote kills. I hope this helps people out that have questions about the .25 cal Sumatra 2500 Carbine. JW
