I shot my first coyote tonight! I was using the lightforce 170 scope mounted for a spotlight and the Fx3 with the rodent sound for a call.
I was sitting on the edge of a pond with the Fx3 50-75 yards away from me. At first I forgot to put up the Fx3's antenna and the remote wasn't working so I had to get up after to min of quiet rodent distress calling and go fix it (Thought I was doomed for the night). Got back turned the volume up situated myself and waited a min before scanning. Scanned around for a minute and noticed what I thought to be an eye next to a pine tree bihind tall grass. I then turned up the spotlights power and put the spotlight on the scope. After looking at it walk around a few seconds I thought it was a skunf,rabbit, mink, or something because I forgot to turn my scopes power back up from 3. I soon thought I saw a tail then the coyote looked up at me and I saw its pointed is, bang!(thought it was a fox)It was DRT.
I then made a dumb mistake, instead of turning the Fx3 on coyote death cry I muted it, then got up disconnected my gun from the spotlight and picked up the flash light to go get the coyote. Found it fast and then picked up my gear and loaded the coyote on the fourwheeler and went home. If I turned on the coyote death cry I may have gotten a double.
Coyote was a Female, 40lbs, hit in front left shoulder with a .223 wssm, no exit.
I hope this pic works....
