That it was just a wild azz guess on hold over, that's where it becomes unbelievable to me. I'd wager that it was a dang lucky hit at best. And just because a coyote was hit is far from meaning it died.
I have a guy that I hunt with every now and then that is just like this. By golly if he can see a coyote, he's flinging lead. Gets lucky every now and then too. But for some reason he doesn't talk about the misses very often, only the lucky hits.
Not a guess at all, halo lr has a mil reticle at 2x, i have a rangefinder, a chronongraph, a kestrel, the home screen on my phone has holdovers out to 1000 yards, and i practice at distance. I posted the video because being able to kill a coyote at that distance at night is pretty cool. Never said i havnt missed, if you hunt anything enough you will miss. Shot around 100 coyotes with this setup, missed at 500 yards and at 200 yards, and many times at runners.
Maybe some of you guys could learn something if you asked questions instead of calling me a liar/ lucky bastard.
I have nothing to sell and do not give a f if you believe the video or not, but i do not like being called a liar.
Have a nice day,
Um FOTG,
Most people on here usually don’t just post a link and then name it Thermal Coyote Kill at 880 yards, then go silent.
Information included with the original post would have kept the Skeptical Hippos away!
Thanks for coming back on and clarifying some of the info we were seeking, now, in all seriousness? I am Still a very Skeptical Hippo!
PS - 98% of my day and night shots are not from a bench with sandbags, Kestrel, Chronograph, most of us use homemade shooting sticks and are in a sitting position.
