Long Range Coyotes – Predator Xtreme (Oct 2013)

Predator Xtreme

I quickly surveyed the landscape to see if any other coyotes were approaching, then rolled over into the prone position. My hunting partner, Travis Osmond, was sitting beside me glassing the coyote. “What’s the yardage?” I asked. As many of you know, predators don’t stand still to feed like deer or antelope. They’re constantly on the move. Travis started reading yardages: “610, 615, 622.”
