Coyote Hunting Rigs

[Norton]

Camo form gun wrap works great if a person wants to camo their rifle.
It's a stretch wrap that clings to itself and leaves no sticky residue when removed. Canada and US Cabelas has it.
I use it on my Tikka 22-250 coyote rifle.
Good stocking stuffer for Christmas.

Not to mention the sticky mess when you unwrap the hockey tape.

Just use a little goo gone from Home Hardware and the glue comes right off.

I must be a cheapO cause i only use masking tape. I only worry about glare, color means next to nothing IMO.

I could never personally put tape on one of my guns but it's beside the point. If you're getting out there good on ya. I'm not quite sure why everyone felt the need to jump all over you, it's your gun.. I would probably end up buying something like white camo netting and using it to wrap my gun.

Like I said, it's athletics tape, which isn't sticky. I bought some white ghillie stuff too. But I'm used to people on forums. They're all just jealous of my bright idea

That's actually where I got the idea for the wrap I did. It's essentially the same thing, but at a fraction of the cost.
I'll be honest with y'all I just wanna feel like Mark Wahlberg from shooter while stalking 'yote. My life isn't all that exciting, and being invisible sure makes me feel pretty badass

SKSavenger- That's a very nice rifle you have there. As far as the bi-pod goes, is the 6"-9" ample for prone shooting, or should I opt for the 9"-13"?
I tried to fool around with a yard stick to get an idea of how elevated the rifle would be from the ground and 9" straight down from the stock seems to be prime... but I've had no hands-on experience with a rifle-mounted bi-pod.

thats kinda cool

I heard or read somewhere that Veterinarians have a 'horse tape' (or something like that) that comes in different colors that clings to itself when you wrap something with it. Maybe similar to the camo wrap above?

The 6-9 works well for me when extended to full lenght for prone. Also its nice to have the short one if im shooting off a bench or something plus its nice and compact for carrying. 9-13 would work fine though. A hint for you....that is an NC star bipod from More Guns Supply which is a copy of the typical harris bipod but for way less money. And in my opinion its every bit as good

I actually know what you're talking about. I should go check the barn because I'm pretty sure we have some...

Thanks for the advice, and that's good to know about the NC Star one. I was looking at the Caldwell ones at Bass Pro and they seem to compare to the Harris as well.
It's too bad More Guns Supply's website isn't much of a website

 

[Farlsincharge]

I believe the camo tape was based off the vet wrap.

pooker - I find the 6-9's too short and prefer the 9-13. The legs are usually half way extended.
Be damn sure to spend the extra money and get one that swivels.

Yes. And hunting coyotes from horseback is certainly fun, but it costs a lot to cam a whole horse with that stuff.

 

[KDX]

For the bigger jobs some Krylon spray paint is cost effective.

If I go out this year I will use either my Cooper 17Rem Fireball or my .223 XCR, which reminds me I need to load up some VMax bullets for the .223.

 

[slick39]

I've also heard of the horse wrap, I hope to get out this winter with my Stevens 200 in .243! I'll have to pick some wrap up so I too can look badass hahah

 

[Northman999]

For coyote I'll be hunting with a Stevens 200 in 22-250 mostly, but I also did up some subsonic 180gr loads for my SKS and want to see how they work on anything I can call in real close.

 

[KDX]

That would be just beyond spitting distance.

 

[762nato]

once youve tried beaver youll never go back

 

[Camp Cook]

Don't listen to the nay sayers they really haven't a clue...

I use that tape a lot I also wear white polar fleece coveralls when hunting in snow conditions I took them off when I was handling the deer so I didn't get them covered in blood I had spotted the deer at over 500 yards and walked slowly directly towards it across the cut it was looking my way the entire time and never saw me.

You did a fine job on your rifle!
Many reasons to try to blend in with the environment, and a coyotes eyesight is just one of them.
Like mentioned, a coyote wont likely see you 100 yards away, nor will it pick out a rifle that is not camo.
However, lots of other animals will. Nothing can kill a hunt faster than a blue jay/squirrel/crow.. Sitting over your head screaming out a battle cry. Like most good hunters, coyotes use the reaction of other animals to determine food sources, presence of other animals and especially danger.
It is the same reason I wear camo to bowhunt, deer can't see squat, but they sure know how to avoid the thing that is making the squirrel freak out.
Anyone can fool a coyote on a hunt, but only a hunter can fool everything in the process.
Camo is good, and you did well with it.
Good luck out there!

 

[arcaner]

that look like used toilet paper

The XCR was so much fun and made a great coyote rig. I'll own another one day. It was really handy having the red dot holosight on a 45 degree rail for quick/close followup shots. For this season, I'm building a 700 in 260Rem.

I have been spotted so many times by coyotes/deer when they are 100's of yards away because I moved and they caught a glint or somethig from my uncovered rifles/sunglasses etc...

Do not believe that their eyesight is poor it isn't...
