To be fair, I kill them at close ranges, at night, I only target those that cause problems and I lay in wait. When I hear them approaching or catch a glimpse of them approaching. Occasionally I call one in. At that point, I turn on my gun light and aim carefully. The red light does not phase them at all.
The beauty of it all is this; a good swift flick of the safety causes them to stop and look in my direction. perfect moment to take the shot.
I took a friend with me once that thought my method was incredulous. Within the hour, without a call, I whispered to him "There is a coyote straight ahead"..."Where?" he says. "Right there, sitting" I say as I illuminated the coyote. the coyote was leisurely sitting about 50yds dead ahead and scanning. My buddy had brought his SuperSomthingOrOther 270 deer rifle. I patiently waited as he chambered a round, the coyote didn't budge an inch. Buddy assumed some fancy firing position. I was dumbfounded as I watched the dirt splash about two feet to the left of the coyote. The coyote peals out, flinging dirt, and sticks in the air.......Buddy excitedly asked "Did I get him??" I replied "UMMMM, I think the bullet went right through him, it was weird!"...I played like I was looking for the carcass and blood for a bit. I shoulda told him the truth but I didn't have the heart.
That was a bonus story, sorry lol
My point is that my ballistic needs are going to be different from the next guys and so on.
