Coyote hunting is about the only method of controlling the spread of coyotes and their numbers far exceed the number taken by hunters. Trapping coyotes does not work well at all as they are usually too smart to be taken with traps.
Science has shown that coyotes take a heavy toll on whitetail fawns. At least one study found that coyotes can eat as many as 75 percent of the fawns born in a single spring and deer populations are declining in some parts of the country, possibly as a result of an increase in coyote numbers.
Coyotes have spread to 49 states in the USA and are presently the most abundant livestock predators in North America, causing the majority of sheep, goat, and cattle losses. Hundreds of thousands of sheep, cattle, and goats fall victim to predators each year. In fact, predators cause some of the most significant losses to the sheep industry nationwide. Livestock losses attributed to predators cost U.S. ranchers and producers more than $71 million annually, according to statistics compiled by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) NationalAgricultural Statistics Service (NASS).
The coyote (Canis latrans) is a species of canine native to North America. It is smaller than its close relative, the wolf, and slightly smaller than the closely related eastern wolf and red wolf. It fills much of the same ecological niche as the golden jackal does in Eurasia. The coyote is larger and more predatory and was once referred to as the American jackal by a behavioral ecologist. Other historical names for the species include the prairie wolf and the brush wolf.

Very good image for a 384

[@TransformersHoarder]

This is a 1.5 optic correct?

[@Theolddeerhunters]

2X

[@TransformersHoarder]

In my mind your handheld unit should be as powerful as possible with greatest clarity and your rifle should have the widest field of view possible. Handheld to identify and riffle mounted to cover area of threat. Does that make as much sense to you as it does to me? What are your thoughts.

[@Theolddeerhunters]

Depends on what you mean by powerful. You spend 95% of your time scanning. You need best image you can afford but not high magnification. 2-2.5X for scanner is all the magnification you need. When you spot something, you go to your gun. That is when you need a little more magnification (3-3.5X for most situations is good) if you are coyote hunting. For hogs up close you still need a wide field of view after first shot.(2-3X). I like 2.5X scanner, 3X scope, both 640x480.

[@TransformersHoarder]

@@Theolddeerhunters for me it makes more sense the other way around. The highest should be handheld to identify before pointing rifle at target. When you go to rifle you know what you’re aiming at.

[@Theolddeerhunters]

@@TransformersHoarder you do not need more than a good 2X scanner to ID coyote or hog from a deer or cow. There is only 1X or less difference. With a good 2X scanner you can ID based on how animal moves or length of neck but if he is past 150 yds, you need more magnification for aiming and making a good shot. For the last few years I have used an 2X XP50 scope but changed to 3.5X so it is easier to make the shot.

[@TransformersHoarder]

@@Theolddeerhunters I’m more worried about what’s behind it.

[@outdoorsman8498]

Currently what's the best thermal scope for around 2500

[@Theolddeerhunters]

Iray GL35 or AGM Adder
