That looks like a great time!  Thank you Hern!

Hern:
I learn from thesehere night vision videos.
I watch the approach and terrain and can tell which is the downwind side as Coyote makes a swing on approach.
Also how Coyote stay back at times, stand or sit and watch and listen before committing. I've experienced this action many a times.
Years back I hunted Coyote at night and fell flat on my face. I experienced Coyote hanging up way out and swinging down wind.
A friend purchased a night vision scope several years ago (or longer when they first hit the market) and started killing Coyotes at night.  I had a lot of questions for him. He confirmed what I was speculating...Coyotes sit and watch and many swing down wind.
Always enjoy and learn from night vision videos.

Two years ago at night I called a pair of coyotes into about 300 yards.  They sat down and watched the show for 20 minutes occaisionally standing up and pacing back and forth and yes, down wind.  I threw every play in the book at them and they simply would not cross that field.  I was not comfortable with that shot at night with the 204 even though the gun is capable.  I could not afford a wounded runner due to the location.  This stand haunts me to this day.  I would love to have another crack at them but I have never seen them there again.  May have been different with night vision.

That was an enjoyable video.. I think back to a few years ago that I had a few coyotes that did that.. There I was shooting free hand at coyotes at 100 yards...The shots turned out to be negative for me.. Just a story in my memory banks.. Now with the new lights and the outstanding shooting rest things would have been different...However I'm finding that for me  it's better to hunt with at most 2 people (Me one of them)..I start taking the 3rd or the 4Th with me on the stands. I still call in the coyotes.. However making the 3rd and 4Th person do what they are suppose to do turns it all negative..  I have learned that my best hunting partner right now is my son... He just understands what we have to accomplish.. I use to hunt with my wind at my back for years... I was setting myself up for automatic failure...   I go to Texas hunt with two friends there called Mac/Prowler and come back and started calling in all kinds of predators from the up wind side..I now hunt with the wind in my face but calling and speaker pointed up wind.  Now I'm getting fox and coyotes to have to work to find out if I'm the real McCoy... I do like to hunt alone to at times.. I always keep my light on my gun on at all times and only turn my scanning light off when I'm going to shoot and look down the barrel find the predator and fire.. Getting to be a better rifle shot now then a shotgunner.  However there are times with the coverage or farm I do use the shotgun.. BUT....I still even with the shotgun hunt now with the wind in my face or at the least cross wind. Never with the wind at my back...To date... I have called in 108 coyotes in Pa...However wow if I would have killed 108 then I would have something to be proud of..  Hope you see some of the wisdom in this post...
