Went out last night a little later at the new farm. Saw a dog at a bait pile as we were heading in, but couldn't get a shot at it. Snow was crunchy as corn flakes. My protégé said he saw another dog as we were cleaning up to head out, but I didn't see it at all. Haven't heard any type of calling...

Bait piles. You build it, they will come.

Went out Friday PM, Sat at dusk and Sunday at a different location near a pheasant preserve in orange county. Friday PM was brutal, -20+ below temps with the wind chill and I only lasted about three hours, thanks to the heat in the ranger between stands. Nothing seen or heard but some deer. Sat...

I swapped batteries in the remote after the first set and no difference. Call battery was charged before heading out. I have two fully charged call batteries (with the newest charger) and a new pack of fresh Duracell's for the remote. This weekends cold temps will be a test of my equipment and...

My Call has never shut off, just no control with the remote at ranges over 30 yards the last time out. When I tested it earlier in the year, it worked at 100 yards, with a slight pause. I also reprogrammed the call to not repeat the calling sequence. Maybe the cold weather had something to do...

Been a member for over 20 years and have family that are life members. Very Family orientated and Blue collar Club. Shoot 5 Stand, Trap, Steel challenge Pistol + Rifle, Rifle, Muzzle loader and Bow. Land that's owned by the club, not leased, to pheasant + deer hunt and also as a Pheasant...

I have a new/old semi auto .243. Just waiting on the return of the improved trigger assy and then you won't be the only one here complaining about stove pipes and running out of ammo !!!!! The first shot hit some unseen branches. When we went looking for blood, the spot was so thick with small...

Set up in a different location at the new farm yesterday pm. Called for awhile and didn't see or hear anything. Was making the decision to pack up and head to another location, when I spotted a lone yote perusing around the stand location we hunted last weekend. I don't hunt the same stand...

Looks like their onto your shenanigans and you need to change your tactics. I'll be headed out tonight also, hopefully we'll both have some luck.

Good deal. Now we can see some more awesome video/pics of coyote you let walk away. 640 res is the Bomb.

I don't watch coyote, I kill coyote, especially coyote that prey on calves. Started my new year doing over watch on a new dairy farm. Didn't even have to call this one in. https://rumble.com/vrtyix-1222-coyote.html

I wanted to start out 2022 better than 2021. After a lengthy search, I found a safe queen Rem 7400 .243 semi auto to add to the stable. I didn't want to build a neutered AR10 chambered in 243, so this was the next best SAFE act legal semi auto choice for me. I picked it up this afternoon...

Happy New year. Three words, Bolt Action Rifle.

Were you using the PIP when taking the longer shots ? I hate when that happens, but at least it was just a fox. By the looks of your video, it was a very humid night. The super hogster had no issues, just the guy pulling the trigger ! ;) Just thinking out loud, but maybe you should stick to...

Pearl vision or eye surgery ? Unless you retired in your early years, the eyes are the first thing to go and no matter what amount spent or type of rifle you buy, it's useless unless you can see the target clearly. I was known as eagles eyes and now at 53, I'm more like crow eyes ! I still have...

I think I see an Iray thermal scope in your 2022 future ! What your seeing on video, doesn't even come close to what you'll be seeing in the display. I thought my XP38 had a great image and when looking at videos of the XG50 on line, I didn't think the XG looked much better, especially for the...

My 40grn 20 cal load has never disappointed me, but I usually keep my shots within 100 yards. I've never tried the lighter weight projos, as I was told that the 1-11 twist was made for 36-40 grain pills. After load testing, I don't think I could possibly get anything more accurate, so I bought a...

I like QD mounts, preferably from American defense. The Iray mount design, just like the factory pulsar trail mount, don't work well for all types of firearm platforms. Another reason why I went with a tube type thermal over the box type, more mounting options. I switch firearm types depending...

I have a Criterion 1-11 twist on my bolt rifle.

I don't like the Rico mounting system, but it's not my money your spending.

I love my 20 practical and like you, reload to get the most out of it. I use H4198, as I like to use the heavier projectiles. I was able to push a 40gr Vmax and NBT fast enough to disintegrate about 10 ft from the muzzle. With plenty of room in the case for more speed, I'm all set if someone...

Without problems to divert the publics attention, the seedy Politicians wouldn't be able to get away with the crimes their committing !

There's plenty around, Might be time to get another one !

28ga (.550) .04 of an inch really makes it just a touch to small ? The 28ga 3" should be perfect for you.

Why, because 3" is more gooder than 2-3/4", ask any woman ! All that aside, it's just another sales gimmick for Benelli. My 28's state 2-3/4" or shorter, None 3" and I don't plan on getting a 3" 28 anytime soon.

Sometimes you need to change tactics and go after them. Of course, you need to make sure it's coyote, not another hunter calling back to you ! I've done it many times with success. Pack lite, use pack calls, mimicking a pack on the move, scanning with the thermal the whole time. It really gets...

And was Trump or Biden stupid for not wanting to go to war, knowing it was a meat grinder, with most of the youth spitting on soldiers, calling them baby killers and rioting in the streets ? Jealousy is just sign that you really love the person. Embrace trump and live in peace. :salute:

Was deferred for asthma, even though he was a star football player there. Go figure.

You did nature and that animal a service in taking it out. What type of deer call ? I've tried deer calls and never had any success, but I also don't hunt coyote during the day.

Got another one Sun PM during a snow squall. Very heavy cover in the area added to the bad visibility, but I was able to see my target with the XG50. The bait pile was hit the night before, so I made it a priority to make a visit before heading downstate after my friends birthday party.

Another reason why I kill them and let the insects + worms feast.

It's still small game season, so don't just walk around, get some snow shoes and do some small game hunting too!

It depends on how Safe the storage area is. It's always better having your collection nearby.

Pups without guidance are easy pickings and should be eliminated first, as their more of a threat to livestock because of their desperation to find food. Letting them live will only add to their education in survival. It's nice to be able to get on them from minute one. Your keeping them on...

Thanks for the review. With the realistic calls of the lucky duck, hopefully you won't get shot at, like Tisto did !!!! Because you got the roughneck, I ordered the X24 call. Maybe we'll meet up sometime to do a comparison ?

Nothing heard or seen again tonight at one of my hunting club ranges that I was told had coyote all over the place. 3 separate times hunting them there and zilch. Maybe the fourth time will be a charm ? I set up the van rooftop mounted thermal for awhile, as it got a little windy and it was a...

I was using a blaze 48V 2000 watt off road scooter. It's a nice scooter, but under powered, especially when I'm all decked out in my hunting gear. I tried to make it more powerful, but it's not in the cards. It was a semi expensive lesson to learn ( the salesman said it would do what I needed it...

Rain sucks, but if it's not to bad, I'm going to give it a go tonight at one of my local gun clubs, after I check my muzzle loaders zero. I was told the dogs make a ruckus just after sundown at this club. Nice call, Heard good things about them. I'm sure we'll get a no nonsense review from you...

I was going to let him go, until he crapped on the lawn. That's an offense punishable by death !

First coyote kill with the XG. The XP has a wider field of view, because of it's 1.5x base mag + 38mm lens. It's a great scope, but it doesn't have a BAE sensor of the XG and I've always wanted another BAE sensor scope after I sold the N vision Halo I had. The XG is the first BAE sensor thermal...

Friday PM/ Sat Am - I finally made it out of the suburbs and into the woods around 10pm. Heard coyote right from the start, they were just 400+ yards away. Dropped my call while trying to get closer. Had six small coyote 40 yards away from me while I was searching for where I thought the call...

This is what I've been using to not become a tree stand piñata, which was my biggest fear, as I hunt alone most of the time. Made in PA and is reusable. Wingman

Holy cow Batman, line, belt , quick deploy parachute and reserve , but no helmet or neck brace in case you do accidentally fall over while your putting all this gear on ? I'd have to leave an hour earlier to make it into the stand with all of the safety gear that's "required" and hope I didn't...

It would've been stupid if you didn't go and coyote were running amok ! It's like the lottery, you gotta be in it to win it. I've never shot a coyote while sitting on the couch. How did your thermals image look in the rain and humidity ?

My fall predator season has been dismal at best. I only heard one coyote Sat PM during a weekend of hard hunting, but never saw it. 11:00 - 4:30 am Fri, 6:30 - 3 am Sat, 6:30- 8:30pm doing cow herd over watch, as two calves were born last Thursday and stopped at one of my clubs pheasant...

A Coyote with dynamite would certainly make hunting them a bit more exciting !!!!

With going off topic on thermals, I'm guessing you didn't shoot anything today ? I concur with J here, you pay for what you get with thermals, but you need to also take display size and resolution into account, no matter what the cost. A wide field of view (FOV) and big display size, with lower...

That squirrel was not happy with you. Glad to see your using the thermal monocular for more than just predator hunting.

There was a snafu with shipping the XG, but it should be here later this week according to tracking. I got it sighted in with the XP for now, so it's ready to kill. I'm also waiting for the lapua 77 grn OT projos to arrive. Was told their a bit more accurate and deadly than the Noslers I'm using...
