SCOPES FOR COYOTES ?

[diver dan]

I am hunting a farm for coyotes and I am restricted because of woods to 100 yards.Would red dots be good OR what power scope would be best ? I will be using a .223.

 

[Mgderf]

3x9 has suited me well

 

[Cameramonkey]

A coworker does all his after dark, so he runs a thermal. Talk about spendy. Yikes!

If your talking day hunting, a lpvo would be the answer

 

[MrSmitty]

Depends on what the coyotes prefer.....ask them......

Beat me to it.

I've really like my 3rd gen night vision for the now scarce coyotes around our farm.

If your calling in heavier type cover…woods, brush, etc…it’s hard to beat a shotgun with #4 buck shot. Otherwise something low power like Vette recommended. I also like 53 grain Vmax for my 223 fwiw.

Yes a dot would work fine for 200 and under.
But I would go for a smaller 1 or 2 moa dot

I would go with a 3x9 or 4x12 with a fire dot for eariy morning or late evening shots maybe run a laser as you can see them through a scope also. I use a Leupold 4 x12 fire dot and love it.

Oh, geez. Have all of those boxes from ACME taught us nothing?

I night hunt with my Vortex Crossfire V-Brite. It works great with a red light but those Bering Optics Super Hogster videos look awesome...but you're right... big $

My buddy has a a Remy 700 22-250 and he uses a Coyote Special scope with great results. Not sure who makes it but hes been using it for at least 5-6 years and says that rifle wont ever wear a different scope. I used it once and dropped a dog at 300yds first shot.

Edit: I just looked it up and Nikon makes it. I personally am not a Nikon fan but it works as it should and my buddy has dropped many of dogs with his and has had zero issues. ( Yes I'm a scope snob and been hearing that for years )

I use a a Leupold 4 x12 on the AR10, red dot and 3X multiplyer on AR 15, 6X Parsons on the Marlin .45-70, 4X Sears on my Sears/Marlin Model 60. These guns have killed over 300 coyotes over the years.

Got one last night while deer hunting, 1.5X4 on a Marlin 1894 44 mag. They come to those doe can calls.

Hubby got a Super Hogster for his birthday this year. He's been playing with it a bit the past week so I expect some dead yotes here before long. Life kind of got in the way at the start of coyote season but he is feeling better and gearing up for more hunting now. Added a deer carcass to the bait pile today so that should help as well.

Got a Trueglow 1x6 x 24 lpvo 4 in eye relief . $150. On Amazon .Came with nice mount , alm lense cover, and a lever on x adjustment . Illuminated redical. Fast target acuzition on low power. And this spell check sucks. ,just saying

Any scope you see one through that’s properly zeroed
