I'll be heading up to the farms to hunt tomorrow PM after visiting my cousin.
Farmers said the calves are dropping and the coyote are prowling.
They've seen a couple during daylight hours.
Got a lot of coyote action on the trail cams and even had a friend shoot one yesterday night by a bait pile we set up a couple of weeks ago.

Went out last night. First set, not even a mouse. Packed up our stuff and headed across the street. No more than about 500-800yds away from the first set.
Fox came in and got within about 25yds away from the call before he smelled us. We knew this spot would have our scent travelling in the wrong direction.
Within 10 mins after seeing a fox, coyote real close to our left started serenading, as soon as they stopped,,,,, coyotes real, real close to are right started serenading back. They were so close we could see them. Cant remember what we played to get the two sets to start howling and cant remember what we played to get the set to our right to start moving on over towards us.
They chased another fox over to us, as they were coming. They got to about 300 to 350 yds away, right out in front of us before they smelled us and turned around. We of course opened up on them as they were leaving us. 10 mins later we saw a third coyote way to our right but he was to busy jumping in the air pouncing down on some mice to come over.
I cant access my video's right now because of a bad USB port but here is some of the show from my buddies Rattler.
Left this spot, went to a field across the street from my buddies parents house and called another one in. Long distance shot and another miss.
Coyotes were on the move last night, so were the foxes.
First set, nothing. Second set, 2 foxes and 3 coyote. 3rd set one coyote.

My friend that I've been showing the ropes too finally dropped one 3/6 Pm.
Took awhile for him to let them come in close enough to kill one.
This is the lone male we called the yapper, as after my friend missed it two separate times, it would sit in the next field over and yap at us.
We set up in both fields this time and he didn't miss.

Two more down.
Hopefully we'll add more to the body count before the season ends.

Farmers cow with a broken leg was pounced on by 3 coyote. Farmer gave my buddy and I written permission to kill them, so we went out tonight with no caller. This is legal per DEC. Written permission from the land owner that's trying to protect his or her property. No Permit Needed.
In total, we saw roughly 10 coyote in packs of 3, packs of 2, all in a 100 acre open field. Maybe a little more than a 100 acres, because what do I know.
We killed 2 of them that came right up to the barns. None of them that we saw went over to the dead cow.
The one I shot using the 204 made a huge thud and dropped on the spot at roughly 150yds. The one my buddy shot with the 223 dropped then rolled around and then got up just as soon as we started walking over to it. Didn't set up in time to shoot again.
The one I shot laid dead right up until we got 10yds from it.... Then it stood up and started walking. Buddy shot it. Then when we got about 5yds from it, it got up again and I put another bullet into it. Then when we were trying to reach under the electric fence to grab it, it started acting like it was trying to get up,,, so I wacked it again. I was like what kind of demon is this thing.
Grabbed it, pulled it out and all shots were in the chest. So I have no idea how this thing had so much life in it.
Actually thought it had mange at first but after looking at it,,,, it was just shedding pretty hard. It seemed small but also seemed to weigh a few pounds more than I thought.

He's unemployed. Xiden has taken over bringing the illegals to Westchester.
Shot another one tonight. Wasn't super happy with the shot but I hit him. Have video of it. I will upload tomorrow.
Got tons of video of this fox which is absolutely not afraid of us, same one as last night. Part of the video shows him shoving a huge chunk of either dead coyote or cow in its mouth and carrying it back to its den.
I brought him in with one howl, then waited 2 mins and he came in to barks. Tried to make him think someone was stealing his food and it worked.

Did you ever try out the video recording on the new scope? What are your thoughts on the clarity of the 640 sensor?

So what's the tease ?
I'm awaiting for the carbon fiber X barrel to arrive for my Impulse predator.
The I-Ray is absolutely incredible. It looks like a black and white photograph. I still like to use the black and white with red hot to scan. I have a little video on it, but mostly animals that are rather close, like the deer and rabbits in my back yard. The FLIR scope recorded the shot automatically, but this one does not. I didn't do enough messing around with it to remember to start recording while hunting at the end of last season. I still haven't figured out how to transfer video or still photo files from the scope to a laptop then to my phone to upload them. If I get them to my phone, I can do it, but getting them there is another story...
This is as much of an answer as you're going to get until the project gets posted : Identical twins.

Your going to need to open a Rumble or U tube account to upload the recorded video link for posting.
Identical twins sounds expensive and hopefully you'll get it accomplished before the fall season starts.

After shooting at some dogs and not finding them afterwards because I needed to get home to view the internal recorded video to see if I made a good shot or not, I finally got the correct cable to be able to view my recorded video with my phone in the field.
There were times that I swore they went left and they actually went right and I was looking in the wrong area.
That took me a couple of years to accomplish, so I'll give you some leeway with posting videos.
That I-ray is a really nice scope.

My problem is more that I'm a techno-moron. I don't know how any of it works, and should I actually figure it out somehow, it was an accident and I can't repeat what I did.
The twins are well underway, but I'm taking my time with them so they turn out well. No hurry for them, but they'll be ready by the time they become useful.
Seeing how its a newer model scope, you should be able to download an I-Ray app to your phone. Connect the scope to your phone using wifi. Then while your hunting, turn phone on, connect to the scope and download right to your phone. No laptop needed.
I can do this with my scope but dont. I just record on the scope. Plug the scope into the computer, download my video, edit it and then transfer it to here.
Anyone nearby have a ten year old that can show me how to do this ?
There are stills and videos from the scope on my phone. They can be viewed in the I-Ray app. I can't figure out how to send them to gallery or some other location from which they can be attached.

Open a rumble account and download them from the scope to your rumble account.
Copy and paste the rumble link here.
