Homers Brother, Sorry didn't mention that I will be hunting in Illinois. Mixture of open crop fields and woods. My style of hunting will probably consist of setting up along wood lines or fence rows and hopefully calling coyotes into an open field. Along with a couple distress calls I did buy one of those quiver critters to get thier attention. I have been looking at Nikon's Prostaff Scope in 3-9x40. From what I have seen and read it has got good reviews. Is Nikon's BDC reticle that good to get, or would you recomend it for a coyote gun? For deer hunting I topped my muzzleloader with a Nikon Omega Scope. I ended up getting the regular Nikoplex reticle (standard crosshair) for it as I thought the BDC reticle looked to busy and for the fact that most of my "deer shots" fall under 100 yards.

Just curious guys, when you are still hunting (calling) how far are most of your shots when you pull the trigger on a coyote?

Thanks.
