How many of you use an AO scope for predator hunting?

While I have a couple of scopes with the AO adjustment, I usually have mine pre-set for 150 yards and don't touch it since most of my longest range shots would be 200 yards max...and my power setting is usually way down low..

Generally, I'm looking at 50-100 yards and the little difference in parallax won't really show up on a quick shot..

The only time I really get concerned about it is on the range, shooting paper, or when out for Prairie Dogs, or similar type Varmints at much longer distances..
 
I use a AO Nikon buckmaster on mine. I have had no problems and prefer the AO over the side focus.

+1 ; Can't go wrong with that.
Remember, any movement has the potential for getting you busted; it's all about knowing when it's the best time to move, like when the coyote is behind cover or looking in another direction.
 
I have mine set for about 150 and leave it alone unless the shot is going to be pretty long. Usually you can move slowly and make the adjustment if you need to without being busted.
 
Most of my scopes have AO's. Before I start calling the area Im in I try and adjust scope power/and objective to the terrain and distance that the Coyote may come in. A couple of times I forgot, and its not fun not being able to find the Prey in the scope.
