I missed one in the daytime. It moved as I was pulling the trigger. 2 days later (today) I put one down in the night
I got another Coyote - took me 2 attempts head shot
- Thread starter sasquatch
- Start date
If we had coyotes brave enough to be within 12 yards of our houses, you would be our favorite neighbor. I’ve never shot one under 50 yards. Keep up the good work.

You never know unless you have the cameras out of course. I checked my trail cams and had 2 coming in at a time. It's actually a little harder than one might imagine at close range. Any movement from them and you miss. And they're almost always moving

I have an entire video on how I approach the coyotes. I shared it on that Youtube channel in December (and link in this forum somewhere) and it does include body shots. Usually the heart (the best body shot) is covered by brush. Plus they usually run a bit unless I use 100ft lbs. I need to keep it quiet as possible as well as avoid one dead in someone's rose garden. I am doing it exactly as intended. The neighbors on both sides are in the *same* building as me. 100ft lb airguns are loud so not using them at this location. I don't want to be too loud. Projectile and speed were mentioned in the video. Look for the green text

We all have enough cameras around our houses to know if the coyotes are getting close. We do have foxes close but the coyotes keep about 100+ from houses. Because they are as bad as a turkey when it comes to them holding still for a shot, I’m mainly a boiler room guy with them. I did headshot one a while back when it decided to take a dump. I remember looking through my scope thinking my shot opportunity was fading. Then it stopped and bogied up. I thought you dummy.

I have a second channel where I will share a short look at the body (I never do examinations into the wound channels) but those get shadow banned on youtube and therefore I gave up on most of my consistently produced airgun videos. It's not worth my effort as it's a niche activity. I only post to that channel a few times a year now. However I am permanently relocating this summer and will probably be changing some things up. Doing some off grid living permanently and another YT channel. To me airgun videos on Yt are kind of a waste of time. So what I post is what it will be. Not a lot of effort

Those mangey ones always seem to have a weird way of moving. I lined up for a shot a few times on them over the past few years and every one so far has escaped unscathed. There's something different about em for sure.
I'm going to drop a 5-6 minute montage of coyotes on trail camera from 1-3 2025 soon. Just 10 second clips with music. But people can learn about their movement by watching video. It's how I learned

Yep I seem to have to deal with a whole new family moving onto the land every other couple of months it seems. We just use IR then focus a INSANELY bright led on their face its. Itll stop them for a second then the other takes the shot.
