Whats your furtherest kill on coyote

Post by peanut8474 »

Mine was 357 yards running straight away from me . It was a lucky shot, but I got him so it counts. I also got one at 250 yards at night

just over 200 for me but where i live in missouri there isn't many places where i hunt that i get a shot much farther than that. i did explode a crow with my .280 at 275 one time if that counts for anything.

I live in southern illinois and most places I hunt, you dont shoot much over 200 yards either . I sight my AR 15 an inch over at 100 yards so i can just put it dead center and have always been on target up to 250 yards and anything longer I raise some depending on the distance but like I said there usually arent many shots further. The 357 yard shot with him running, i put it about a foot over his head and a foot in front of him and hit him in the ass and dropped him and walked up to about 200 yards and finished him off

I've gotten em passed 700 (and missed em from further :mrgreen: ).

The shot I'm proudest of though was a 470 yard runner. My buddy thought I was gods gift to shooting and I even managed to play it off as "ho hum, all in a days work" for about half an hour. Of course, had I not been wearing a facemask he'd have seen my jaw hit the ground too! :D

Lazered at just a bit over 500. A yearling sitting down across a frozen slough head on. Wind was quartering in and running about 10mph. 22-250AI with a 75g amax. I did not enjoy the chest deep snow in the cattails. Especially since the scrawny little fart I was hunting with was able to walk on top of it without sinking in. I've only had one chance to take a shot longer than that, but chose not to because I was a guest in one of someone elses spots.

don't know the range of my farthest but i do know some have been over 500. i know the feeling BBJ about feeling like God sometimes. been with several people over the years when i've taken a hail mary at WAY OUT THERE and connected. sometimes even on the run :mrgreen: . however, i've got lead spread out all over my counties from LOTS of misses.
shot a red fox at exactaly the 1/2 mile mark once :shock:

I picked one up 2 years ago at 702yds with the GAP 308 with a 155g Lapua. He was either educated or at a boundary line and didn't want anything to do with me. He ended up sitting on his ass with is body just quartering, staring in my direction. There was about a 15mph wind from directly behind him pushing towards me. So I ranged, dialed and waited for him to look in a different direction before I pulled the trigger, it ended up hitting him high shoulder, neck area. DRT.

But my furthest was with my Rem 700P in 308 using the 155g Lapua. It was south of mandan, nd at 753yds. Ranged, dialed and pulled the trigger. This one actually punched her further back in the chest, she ended up running about a hundred yards or so before expiring.

I just haven't had anything longer than that up here, due to all the damn trees and shelterbelts. I do pick up a several in that 4-600yd range every year. I typically don't try and shoot coyotes at any great distance if I don't have to, just because I know I can come around on them, or wait another day and kill them. I like killing 100% of coyotes that I shoot at, it's just a mental thing. It gives a guy more confidence in his equipment.

I know several guys that have killed coyotes at a lot further. 1100+ yds. But they have much better rangefinders than I do. ;) I'm extremely lucky to pick up a coyote at 800yds with mine, they're small when they get out that far.

My longest was ranged from the dead coyote back to the tree I was sitting at at 438yds with my 22-250. Otherwise, all others have been less that 325 or so and I have missed LOTS out farther. Hit and lost a 400 yard coyote just a few weeks ago. Still feel crappy about it.
