I finally succeeded after stalking these coyotes for a while now. Thru multiple attempts and long hours of sitting in the cold, I finally got lucky and encountered these coyotes. It was all about timing more than anything. I set up baits and trail cam to record their activities and although with valuable information gathered, it still wasn't easy as I thought it would be. They are very elusive and smart. I just got lucky to ran into them this night.
I arrived at the site around 9:15pm, set up the bait and quickly went up to the loft to get ready. Armed with my FX Impact MK2 with 600mm Slug A liner and my trusted H&N 27gr Gen2 slugs, I was feeling good that night. With 52 ft.lb of energy at the muzzle and the target range of 25-35 yards, I was very confident to drop a coyote if the opportunity came.
I was watching the field looking for movements for 2-1/2 hours but with the dark foggy night, my trail cam didn't work as I had planned. The red IR lights never came on to alert me when the coyotes showed up suddenly out of no where. I wasn't able to see them with my bare eyes even at 25 yards to the bait station. Luckily I heard some bone crunching sound that had alerted me. I quickly grabbed my Nikon binoculars and scanned the area.
My heart almost stopped when I saw two coyotes in the dim night lights. I lowered the glass down and grabbed my Impact off the floor, placing it onto the tripod without making any noise. I powered on the Pard007S night vision, pressed record and pointed the gun downrange before turning on the external IR light mounted on the side of my Impact. When my eye came into focus from the bright NV light, I saw two coyotes standing there. One went to the right and one already had a duck in its mouth. She was the one that chewed the neck of the duck and alerted me.
She was standing sideway when she first came into view in my scope and as she turned sightly towards exposing her forehead, I got the crosshair between the eyes and immediately squeezed off the shot. She dropped instantly without making any noise. The other coyote took off after hearing the blast of the shot. I scanned around but it was long gone.
Yup, I did it again dropping another coyote with a properly placed head shot using a .22 caliber airgun.
Enjoy this video. I can now plan to get coyote#6 soon.
Thanks for watching.
