[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 225268, member: 1403"] I had a chance at a 960 yard coyote while I was bear hunting, so I gave her a shot. He was on a distant knob mousing with another buddy of his. I had all the time in the world to get set up with my 338 EDGE w/300g SMK's. My dad ranged him at 960-961 with the swaro 1500. After I dialed up the required elevation on the VX3 LR 6.5-20x50 Leupold, I unleased a 300g SMK his way. My dad was spotting and said I shot probly 6" over him was all. I should have compensated for the slight dowhnill angle(but my ACI indicator is broke) I believe I would've gotten him, if not even closer if my ACI was not broke. That coyote took off like a bad out of heck, lol, no chance for a 2nd shot. I thought it was worth a shot anyway. Also missed one laying in a wheatfield about 200 yards, didn't ahve time to range him. All that was visible was his head and I tried my luck with my 25-06 and 75g vmax, but to my surprise, it sailed right over his head. He jumped up and took off hauling mach 10, I shot 2 more times as he was running away, zig zagging every which way, and got close both times, but no coyote. Didn't see any bears, again... [/QUOTE]
