Hunting & Fishing Let’s start a coyote thread.

Saw this guy coming out of the brush and started running towards me. He saw me get into position and turned around 180 degrees and running away from me. I whistled to see if he would stop but he didn't. So I said why not, and I let him have it.

Nice shot! He didn’t feel a thing.

I saw through the scope just lots of red and pink

Some Coyotes were harmed in the filming of this. ENJOY AND drop a comment if you like videos.

Dude, that camera angle makes that coyote look like he's 100lbs.

There you go, no forced perspective. I should have held up my thumb and forefinger for scale but no one outside Canada would get the Kids In The Hall reference.

I was going to go to Bass Pro to get some white camo pants but I guess it doesn't make a huge difference. First one I hadn't even taken out my Bluetooth speaker I just saw him and played rabbit squeals with it in my pack to stop him. His buddy ran to the next field over and I ran after him.

Nice. Do you get some long shots there? That looks like a heavy rig.

Yeah it's about 15 pounds. Honestly I use it for the novelty. My AIs were heavier than that. A T3 Lite would probably work just as well but it doubles as my PRS/NRL Hunter rifle. A long day I only walk maybe five miles and usually way less so I can tolerate the weight.

Shots at 600 to 700 meters are possible around here but between the wind, getting a good range on them and not the gentle hill in front of or behind them it's tricky so I try to get closer shots. One of these was at 407 meters.

Nice shot!

I can't whistle so I usually try barking or yelling HEY! if I don't have a caller going. Sometimes it works.

Also that is an excellent choice of optic you have. I wish they had a capped windage and locking elevation turrets like the older LRHS.

Yeah a bark could have worked too, but I didn't do too bad even with him not having stopped haha.

Yeah I like these scopes too. I have 3 total. I never know which is which (referring to lrhs or lrts) since they're all very similar and I have both models. What I do wish, is that this lrts on the grendel had the thinner reticle that my other 3-12 has. That other one with the thinner reticle is the fde model, not sure that makes a difference. And I wish that fde model was illuminated too like this black model is haha.

The thicker reticle covers most if not all the dot when I'm trying to shoot tiny groups at 100 during load development. The fde model with the thinner reticle works better for this.

I thought the first gen LRHS had the capped/locking turrets and illumination and the big donut in the reticle. Very solid and versatile setup.

Your scope wishes and wants are like me with packs (and scopes too.) I love the size, shape, and scabbard on my Eberlestock Gunrunner but the top loading single main compartment, open top pockets, and weird butt flap closure make me wish it was more like a Lodrag but the same size.

I get it! But I’m close to Canada (minnesota)

That first pic is hilarious

"I squish you!"

Was cycling through chicken and fawn distress with a decoy spinner going. He crossed the edge of the clearing left to right at 350 yards heading upwind so I thought I spooked him. Two minutes later he crested a hill 100 yards away hugging the treeline and I got him running at me, although it wasn't my cleanest shot. I guess the wind was so light he preferred cover over getting a good scent.

I was optimistic about my stand and calls because this whitetail buck was curious and sauntered back and forth for twenty minutes and the yotes seem to hand out with them a lot. Coyote came in at around thirty minutes.

Lol keep it up man! The world needs more humor and more dead coyotes.

I was deer hunting in Colorado when I saw this one chomping on a deer carcass. Shot @ 257 yards with a 6.5 PRC WITH 143 ELD-X.

 

[LeadBreakfast]

250ish yards the other night. Spotted, ranged at 224, she started trotting away. Gave a little howl to stop her, squeezed and she started doing death spins. Decent female.

Man I had almost forgotten about that show... "I'm crushing your head" & "There's nobody home" Keep on stacking those 'yotes!
