after setting up my 7mm-08 for long range shooting, i tried it for a couple yote outings, i managed one at 711 yards. went back to the .223 after that, best for the .223 is about 400yrds, was my 12th shot (AR).lol.

A coyote at 780 with my 300 remington ultra mag. Now wait I know nobody will believe me. But I had 3 coyotes in a straight line walking away from me. i put my crosshairs 4 foot over the first coyote in the line and hit the middle coyote and rolled him. It was all luck.
A little more than luck involved, good shooting. :tup:

Why didn't you just spin your turret to 780? :P

A little over 630 meters with a H&K 91. One shot to the head, damn coyote never knew what hit him. Shot a bunch of them from the porch at 350-450 yards with the old .300 Win Mag. It sure makes a mess of them.
how much holdover do you have to use with the 300 win mag at 450?

1st coyote ever was also my farthest. 22-250 and PredatorPro says it was about 525 but I say it was at least 675 feet. So in yards that would be 175 or 225! :chuckle: Either way like I said before - for a westside'n city boy like me it was a lonnnnng ways out there! :dunno:
its all good! im from the west side too and i do alot with a shotgun! only time i took my long range gun out i ended up shooting a yote at like 25 feet :P

yep! it aint to hard to find some decent sixed openings. a tough part for me is getting into a game unit without firearm restrictions. i live in the battle ground unit which restricts to a shotgun bow or muzzleloader. have to travel a ways into a unit where i can use a high powered rifle. anyone know any good places around brush prairie/ battle ground/ vancouver?
Battle Ground is where we are originally from. Go to Larch mountain. Some good shooting spots there.

This was back in the 70's when we were getting good money for pelts. We would drag any dead cow or other critter into the middle of a couple of different fields, and head back in the morning to pop a few. We could usually get two shots off before they would zero in on where we were and bolt. Dang that was fun times!

My personal best shot on a coyote was with this gun at 550 yards, standing, offhand. My wife was with me and let me out of the rig while driving to another stand when we saw it. I didn't really think I had hit it, but never saw it running off so I had to go check. Sure enough it was hammered right behind the shoulders and spun it to the ground. The only way my bushnell 800 yardage pro could range the distance was ranging the vehicle back at the road after finding it in the tall brush.
My best friend hit one, just after we were out of high school that we paced off at around 1000 yards. It was snowy conditions, we saw it, there was no getting closer to it over the wide open area so we started popping rounds off. Not knowing anything about shooting back then, I was only holding maybe 3 feet over, so obviously I never came close (and with a .300 savage none-the-less). My friend was shooting a .243 and said he was lining the coyote up and raising the scope until its back was at the bottom of the scope. This was about his 3rd shot. We knew we were close because he started getting nervous, but couldn't tell where we were with all the fresh falling snow absorbing the sound. On his third shot the dog started sitting down and biting its rear end. The snow was well over knee deep so I walked back to the rig while he went to check for a hit. about 2 hours later he came walking back up the road with a dead dog, and I was stunned beyond belief. I simply said "There's no way we hit that dog." He replied, "One of us did. I found him over the hill sitting under a tree biting his foot and finished him off." He then held up the hind foot in question showing me the perfectly shot-off toe.
