You can not hunt "Big Game Mammals" with more than 5 round capacity with a semi auto rifle in Oregon. Coyotes are not considered big game mammals in oregon, nor are they considered furbearers so you are good to go with your AR and hi-cap magazines. 223 is definately not overkill for coyotes. Get out there make some sounds like you're a dying critter and keep shooting until you run out of coyotes or ammo!

Let me warn you in advance, it is very addictive.

223 is legal in OR for coyotes.

awesome thanks what about using a 9mm as a back up?

Never done coyote hunting and would like to give it a try, too. In fact, I've never done any hunting. Do you need license, tags like with big game? Can you provide any good links on the topic? tnx.

Coyotes are Varmints not furbearers no furbearers lic needed no season or bag limit. hunting lic is all you need.
Predatormasters.com is a great place to learn.
