Coyote hunting basics

[Wvhunter22]

What are the basics you need to start night hunting coyotes?

Spotlight, mouth call, rifle.

Forgive my stupidity, how close do you call them in? From most of the videos I watched, everyone is running some sort of thermal setup, with rrs tripods etc and shooting from range.

You said basics. I figured if you wanted basics you were on a budget that didn’t include stuff like RRS or thermal.

If I was trying to setup with basic thermal for night hunting I would buy a 640 scanner and a 384 weapon sight. I would get an Innorel RT90c tripod and throw a Desmond Dlow 55 or something like it on top.

I would figure out which call brand is the most popular in my area between FP and LD then I would get the opposite. I would suggest the X24 or Roughneck.

The actual thermal to get is area dependent. If hunting tighter country you want more FOV. If hunt open country you want more mag.

Lights work well in tight areas also.

Thank you! I’ll look at the initial price, but I expected to around 1.5k min. Most of the people I day hunt with dogs.

4x4, cooler, beer, radio, and a good hunting buddy to BS with. Rifle is optional.

Unfortunately, I just moved not to long ago so I don’t have the hunting buddy. I may be able to use my daughter and some Pepsi lmao.
