It has been a few months now that I have been hunting for my coyote #10. I did a lot of trail cam recording of their activities at the spot where the farmer buried all the dead calves. At least 3 groups of coyotes that come to salvage food here and my trail cam captured them at different times, mostly at night but sometimes in bright day lights as well.

I finally got an opportunity to go out the other night (May 4th) and I happened to see three coyotes in the adjacent field as I was pulling into the farm at 7:30pm. I thought this would be the night to finally encounter with the coyotes at the feeding spot.

Timing is everything... Watch on and find out.

Nice video it’s nice to see something real and realistic. Lol i was thinking I would see a bunch of unrealistic shots like 300 yard pluss shots with dead right there resultskeep up the good work and sooner than latter the yote stomache will lead you to victory

Thank you for watching. Yes, they will continue to return and scavenge for free food. I just have to get lucky and encounter them when I do show up one night.

It takes a lot of shooting in preparation to know you will make a good hit when the time comes.
Good work Max.

Thanks Struckat. Absolutely. I definitely need to have more trigger time practice shooting from that platform during the day when I get the chance and when the time comes, I will have a higher rate of success. Just have to pick a lucky night when they would show up. I will have the farmer inform me when he is burying any dead calves then I will try to be there in a day or two. Thanks for watching.

@Ezana4CE. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to hunt these these coyotes as I just returned from my 2 weeks vacation. I have monitored the trail cam footages and these 4 coyotes are still very active. I am actually waiting for my M60B .25 cal conversion kit to arrive this week. Hopefully I will be able to tune it to shoot accurately out to 75 yards. Then this M60B will be my coyote gun with the bigger projectile and hopefully energy as well.

@Max115 Do you intend to shoot slugs or pellets from the M60B? Who makes the M60B, Snowpeak?

Edit to answer my second question. Yes, the M60B is a Snowpeak air rifle https://www.krale.shop/us/snowpeak-m60/

@Ezana4CE. Slugs. Snowpeak M60B .22cal converting to .25cal. I should be receiving the kit today. I went out last night for the coyotes but the wind storm came so I didn't stay long enough into the night. It would have been a great chance last night as I shot two test shots into my target box that I left on the concrete barrier 70 yards. Both the the 25gr slugs from my Impact MK2 hit the 3/4" bullseye. I thought I would drop a coyote in the head with that result, lol. Oh well, that's hunting right? Never turn out as planned. Next time.

I'm not sure you will get more fpe from a M60B in 25 than you are getting from your impact but I think you will get enough. 60 fpe seems to be available at least with the somewhat longer barrel Zellos in 25 just by raising the reg pressure. Porting might be necessary to get to 70 fpe especially with the shorter barrel M60B. But high 50s to low 60s in a 25 still seems like a better answer than a really stout 22 caliber PCP. Bigger holes help.
