Go with #4 Bridger...time tested and with a quality company that is still in business....can be important for replacement parts and such.

I say both will work for coyotes ,I do not know about bobcats because there is no season for them in the part of the state I live.

The bridgers suck. I got a 1.5 dozen and I the work I’ve put in just to get half of them to fire nicely and for the springs to spring upwards and lock up is ridiculous. One came with a jaw on backwards!!! That one sits on my bench. But I do love their coilsprings. Go with sleepycreek
