Killed 8 coyotes over the foxpro this weekend
All during the night most were responding well to vocals

Well done!

Ya done good.

Sweet!!

Nice.got room for another shooter ? LOL

Awesome, thanks for sharing.

Very nice! Thanks 4 sharing. Time to get skinning!

Nice work.

I like the tripod setup.

Do you scan with the light on the gun? Or do you use a headlamp to scan?

nice job!

Good job

Hot dog! ...I mean cold dog! Good job!

Ohio coyotes? Awesome.


John

Nice Job
I went out Sunday night had some answers from across the river but that was it.

is fur still good great job

Nice job Ray, keep after em.

Ray, that is some good shooting there. What kind of tripod and mount are you using?

Haha thanks everybody!
If you haven't tried it yet I suggest you find some coyotes and try to kill'em it can be allot of fun!

These coyotes were shot on an outfitters leased deer properties to try and control some predators so prime pelts were of no concern on my part, Although I would say atleast 4 of them had great hides on them as of yet and one of them was terribly mangy

For the guys who had questions on my tripod / light setup and ect heres what I'm running
The tri-pod is a Nightstalker edition with a pig saddle clamp on top

Night stalker tri-pod (check it out)

As far as my scope and scanning to locate these coyotes I have recently switched to NightVision & Thermal gear.. I haven't really seen an increase in coyotes committing to the call although I never did try and over hunt my properties when I was running lights, As I believe a coyote will become educated very fast if he has been shot at while their is a red beam shining around!
What I have noticed is less people interrupting my setups under the assumption that I am spotlighting deer!

And you also asked If I used to scan with a headlamp or my kill light on thee rifle & I mainly scanned with my head lamp and kept a slight beam of light on them as I transitioned to my rifle and then dropped the main beam of light onto them as I readied for the shot!

As always any coyote that comes into the field and leaves alive is now smarter then he was, Make your shots count

Fun for sure, do it again! Lol

Atta boy! Way to get after 'em.

Nice !

You're allowed to shoot at night with a high-power rifle with a light...? Not here. Landowner and 1 guest can use light with shotgun or .22 rimfire if I can recall correctly.

No snow??

Good job.

Good stuff!

Haha thanks fella's
Tactical 2.0 I would love to have another 8 dog weekend

NonPCfed yes Ohio and quite a few other states have legal night hunting with rifles & lights, night vision or thermal..
I believe to hunt on public land here in Ohio its Rimfire or shotgun only for most of the year, Most likely to prevent poachers from having the simple "Were coyote hunting"

And bucksnbears .. No we do not have any snow and I am not complaining about it at all

Excellent job, keep shooting.

That's not an assault rifle is it ??

Good job by you and awesome set up. I’m still a headlamp and scope/shotgun light guy for fox, but getting more into the coyotes and definitely want to step up to thermal or night vision. Again great job!!

Thank you.. yes I do miss them red eyes bouncing across the fields but it’s so nice not having people ruin your setups because they think your spotlighting deer

Way to go, you're continuing to put the smack-down on them yotes, very impressive!

And, as I said in your last post, very nice set up.

How many did you kill last year?

You got a good start on them this year!

Thank you lugnut,
We ended 2017 with about 33-34 coyotes and have 18 of them since 2018

What do you do with your yotes?? If they're not worth much now for the fur, you could probably sell cleaned up skulls, de-boned tails, and maybe home-tanned hides for general public wallhangers.

Yeah back in the day in SD, it was said that if you got stopped with high power rifle & spotlight at night you were going to get a ticket!

Even though night vision is legal ohio law still says that you must have a continuous beam of light while calling coyote, fox and coon at night.

Congrats

Well aware of that and when I’m on stand I do have a red light shining out behind me to be in compliance with this law...
we’re simply not using red lights to scan with and shoot thus not drawing any attention from passing traffic and ect.
