[QUOTE="jt183, post: 925827, member: 61360"] I was in your same situation a couple years ago. I love to hunt coyotes in the wide open spaces but found that my rangefinder wouldn't range coyotes in a bare field or snow covered ground. I did some research and shopping and ended up bringing home the Zeiss PRF. It was a definite improvement over my previous rangefinder (Leupold) but after a year of use while coyote hunting I spend more time cussing it than praising it. It was just the right size and had a lightning-fast response time but it simply wouldn't hit small targets at anything over 400 yards (I'm talking coyotes or crows in snow covered fields). A lot of coyotes got away because I couldn't get a range on them and that made me angry. So I did some more thorough research and bought a Vectronix Terrapin. It was a lot of money but it was well worth it. It will range a lone coyote in a snow covered field at distances well over 1200 yards. The only down side is that it is big and bulky. Plenty of coyotes still get away but it's not because I can't get a range on them. It's hard to beat for rockchuck hunting too! [/QUOTE]
