Who hunts with a 14-16lb rifle?

TL-DR
My Coyote hunting setup is varies from a 24lb accuracy international AX308 chambered in 6creed, and a 22 lb manners prc-tcs.

I’m in Illinois, so no mountains to hike. Usually parking and walking 1-500 yards to get to a spot. But I’m 28 and fit, so it works for me.
 
19ish lbs

19 lbs is heaviest setup I've used for critter control ... usually more like 14-15 lbs, strap across chest.
