[QUOTE="jaybic, post: 924029, member: 17055"] Hello all, I am new here and looking to purchase a new rangefinder. I have an older Nikon 800 and a Leupold RX IV w/TBR and neither one seems to pick up a coyote much farther than 300 yards. As a tournament coyote hunter in western ND/SD and Montana, I NEED a rangefinder that will, with reasonable consistency, pick up coyotes at least twice that far. It is usually snow covered and somewhat flat so there is not much to bounce a beam off other than the coyote himself. I do try to range objects near my stand prior to calling my first series so if they appear, I already have an idea of how far they are but I also find myself on plenty of spot and stalk opportunities where I end up guessing because me Leupy wont range a sleeping coyote balled up on a snow covered hillside. And it has cost me on a bunch of occasions. On several of these occasions after all was said and done, I found out that these coyotes were under 350 yards and I just really think the my rf should have picked them up. Has anyone used anything made by anyone that has proven reliable on coyotes in similar scenarios as mentioned above? Any and all advice/tips and ideas would be very much appreciated. Thanks and have a great day folks, Jamie [/QUOTE]
