Following for updates. Definitely something that I would like to tryNew to coyote hunting as well. I've tried a few times at various times of day and trying to play the wind. I've heard them a few times at night (have land owner permission) but never saw anything. Have a new thermal coming tomorrow so perhaps that will help seeing them before they see me kind of deal.
Would like to meet up and perhaps do some hunting together if that's an option. Good luck and I'll post my updates.
Hopefully not crunchy snow!
oops! Missed “bait pile” never mind

I picked up the Bering Optics Super Hogster R Thermal Scope. I run with a pair of PVS-14s and IR Laser / Illuminator as well to spot and observe. I caught this dog with the NVGs first against the snow background as a dark spot and confirmed it on thermal and took the shot. Pick off my first coyote at night this past Sunday at 2:30am at 150y.Cool. Which thermal scope did you get?
Choot em!!Going to try daybreak tomorrow. I know where there is a good population. I have an electronic call. Plan to use my 357 Henry lever action. Any tips for a first timer? Thx
