[QUOTE="Three44s, post: 1504057, member: 43573"] Night time, did someone say night time? Well my night game got changed up since I last posted in this thread. A long time friend fell into financial distress and sold me his 2 year old ATN thermal scope. I went to work and sighted it in on an AR that is a flat top. The coyotes had/have been plaguing our dogs at night. About 1:30 AM I woke to a ruckus and went out on our deck, AR w/ Thermal mounted and started scanning. These coyotes get light shy around rural residences real kwick so no external light in this instance was a real advantage as I was behind a deck railing which broke some of my outline. After much back and forth a pair showed themselves for a moment. I only got a glimpse of one of them through the sage but the more bold one stopped right in line with my wife’s man gate of her metal horse round pen. It was as if the coyote framed itself in the upper bow (top of the gate). I feel he knew I was there though as he was starring right at me so time was of the essence to close the deal. The coyote was 100 yds beyond the gate and I was 100 yds “before it” thus it was a 200 yd shot. At the crack, the coyote jumped straight up and hit the ground body first. I even saw it’s feet fall last through the imager. Confident that it was DRT I went to put on boots. Arriving on the spot there was no coyote. Two days later I put on a more thorough search and found it was folded up about 100 yds past where it had first went down. Best regards Three44s [/QUOTE]
