Hammering the Six Pack

We hit the 6 pack group again tonight. We had two working across the field to us at about 400 yds. when a 3rd one popped up out of a ditch at 100 yds. My hunting buddy who has just gotten his XQ50 Trail replaced took the sure shot. Unfortunately the shot spooked the other two enough they wouldn't come any closer. His shot blew the heart out of the big male, but like most heart shots didn't knock him down instantly. My hunting buddy didn't want to risk another shot further spooking the other two coyotes since we knew this was a dead dog running.

Man, your coyotes must reproduce quickly. You seem to have an endless supply of targets. I continue in amazement.
 
He came down a field ditch while the other two were coming around the long way. That was my recording of the shot. I don't have my buddies recording off his Trail XQ50 yet. It will be good to compare the two views between the Apex XQ50 with a mini dvr and the Trail XQ50 with the built in recording.
 
I was trying to figure out how the crosshair was on the neck and it took out the heart. You can't always go by what you think you see, cause you might be looking through the wrong "eye".

Thank you. I just posted a video in the video section above comparing the video of the same hunt from a Pulsar Trail XQ50 to my Apex XQ50 and mini dvr. My hunting buddy had to send his first Trail XQ50 back because the picture just wasn't good. The new one appears to be as good as mine. Of course even on the same hunt adjustments to focus, contrast and brightness can make quite a bit of difference in how the video actually shows up.

Here is the link to the video above if you care to compare the two videos from the Trail and Apex.

Very seldom. My buddy hit this one a little low, but it still exploded the heart. I know lots of people complain of poor performance with the V-Max on coyotes, but my hunting partner has done well with my hand loads at about 3,100 fps. I shoot 55 gr. Nosler ballistic tips in my 6x45 or 6mm Parvo as weekender named it. I'm pushing them at almost 3,400 fps and they usually get exits, but not destructive unless hit low and back.
