Any tips on getting coyotes inside 100 yards while Coyote Hunting
Posted on 8/6/13 at 9:47 pm

I recently started hunting coyotes and on my first 3 hunts I have called up 4 coyotes. But they stay about 250 to 300 yards out and won't come any closer. I'm well hidden and they all have came out upwind from me. I have a motion decoy and a caller. All I have is a red dot scope on my ar-15 and i would feel better taking a shot within 100 yards any tips on getting them to come closer.

100 yds? You ain't got a rifle?

first suggestion wold be another scope.. or scope/gun combo. I have a 204 i can pop them with ease as long as i can see them.
As far as getting them closer, they are very cautious.. will always come down wind, and can pick up on anything out of the ordinary. What call are you using? if ur using a rabbit squeal or similar as soon as you see the yote switch to mouse squeek or lip squeek and they come in closer alot of times

Try setting up in an area where they have to come fairly close to see what is going on. If you pick a wide open 500 yd field they can sit and look for ever. However pick an opening 50 yds or so wide and where you can see the timber edge real well and you typically have them.
Of course option b.... Get a better rifle
I have been shooting them with .308 175 grain hand loads at 600-800 yards it's a kick in the arse.

Get you some good glass, then you can actually make a 300 yard shots with a good gun rest/bipod.

Guess I'm going to have to invest in good scope. Any suggestions. I really don't want to spend more than a couple hundred bucks.

Copule hundred $$ can get you a serviceable scope. I would look at Swift (not as well known but good glass and often less expensive), Nikon, and actually Bushnell has started making better scopes. Of course what makes a good scope is a good rail and rings also. I would look at a good adjustable mag scope with 40mm objective lens.

I only had iron sights on M16, and felt quite comfortable shooting targets at 300m. You try picking up your motion decoy?

That's why you have 30 rounds right?
Try placing out a milk jug at 300 yards and practice on it.

Redfield for good cheap scope

I use the 22-250 normally, unless they keep catching me. Then I get mad and waste money by shooting them with the 300 WSM.
