Title: First thermal coyote.
Post by: Lucky1 on May 09, 2020, 04:11:35 PM: Finally got one with my low end Thor thermal vision scope. It worked good. Only a 30 yard shot. It’s mounted on a AR with a 223 Wilde upper. 62 grain soft point at 3000 FPS = bang flop.

I struggle with technology. I was able to figure this one out enough to make it work.

Post by: Lucky1 on August 02, 2020, 07:47:38 PM: Got another one! 113 yards this time. Ranged it from the spot where it dropped back to where I shot from. I ran one off Scanning with the red light a couple weeks ago. This might have been the same one. Found him by scanning with the thermal scope. He was doing some kind of bark/howl. Sounded like a challenge.
