Coyote
Sunrise, Jan. 1-sunset, Dec. 31 (dogs are allowed to hunt coyote during the day; coyote may not be hunted at night).
Statewide: during turkey season (day hunting only; no dogs allowed).

• Dogs are not allowed in deer zones where a firearms deer season is in progress that prohibits the use of dogs.
• During youth turkey hunts, only youth may take coyotes.
• Coyotes may be taken during daylight hours with archery equipment, or any rifle or shotgun ammunition.

Daily limit unlimited, possession unlimited.

That's from the AGFC page. Why can't you use a centerfire??

The part that sticks out to me is “coyote may not be hunted at night”.

I see post here and on Facebook all the time of people using thermal gear to shoot them at night. I‘m guessing that’s not legal?

What's the ideal round with hide preservation in mind? I have 223 and 22WMR but considered getting a 204 for this goal.

.22 WMR. Use a pointed soft point to minimize initial expansion and keep the hide in good shape. Or use a FMJ… whichever is available…

I use in a 22 mag a 40 gr Winchester jhp. I have some 45 gr point soft point. I always used the 40 gr jhp.Keep it out of the shoulders. 223 50 gr or 55 gr pointed soft point.
