I shot this large female last month. Called her in with a female challenge and death cry. She howled right after I called prolly within 100 yards of us and my buddy and I set up right away. Only took her about two minutes to come in but it was dark and we didn't see her circle my call and she ran up about 10 feet from it and smelled it and took off we spotted her right as she ran. My friend shined her and as she was running away I took three shots and missed. Then she started running broad side I took one more shot and down she went. All happened within like 45 seconds. We retraced her tracks and found out she came out of the woods right next to us but she circled the call downwind. Luckily there was snow on the ground or I wouldnt have been able to see her at all. I walked off the the distance and counted 250 yards give or take a couple. 250 yards at a full out run, broadside with a .223.....miracles do happen lol

thats great. nothing wrong with a nice 250 yard shot how about a closer look at your rifle.
by the way, did the full moon make those suckers go nuts last night?

Yes thats a very nice shot, funny how she came out of the woods close by you guys, almost spooky.
yeah you shoulda heard her when she howled. So close. We stepped outta the truck, called and she hit right back. Gets your primitive instincts and adrenaline goin.

Things pucker up also !!!!!! This warm weather is great too have for this time of the year , but I was hoping to get a few more coyote hunts in before turkey season . Not looking good !!
[QUOTE=Bulldawg;1370513] Also keep in mind these lights have alot of spill and a halo is highly advised . What I found best for this is any plastic that can be rolled up to fit around the head of light and then zip tied on works best . Then I covered the plastic in camo duct tape. Doing this will make the beam tighter and more concentrated making it brighter at further distances . [QUOTE]
thanks for this tidbit, the "spill" from my kill light XLR-250 is really making it hard to identify my target. im about 99% positive it was a yote i saw last night, but couldnt identify it for sure, so i didnt shoot. im in the process of fabricating a halo right now. had to find this post because i couldnt remember if you put it on the scope or the light itself.

Ezbite , go back and look at my pic further down the thread . I put it right on the light and had it off the end of the light itself 4" . Seeing eyes at night and not being able to identify sucks . I have seen more eyes lit up from deer than coyotes at night . It can be very hard to make out what the eyes are out at a couple hundred yards . Hope the halo works out for ya . Good luck on your full moon coyote quest , gonna be cold tonight and clear . Hopefully it works out for ya , the last coyote I killed was at night under the full moon with snow on the ground . They were really moving that night.
