Just to clarify, there were two stands/sets on this video. The first produced a quad. I didn't drag the 4th coyote back almost 500 yards where the other 3 were because it wasn't a nice coyote, and it wasn't worth it for the picture op. I snapped a picture with the Phenom because it was easier. I do this on other multiples as well on some of my videos. I was asked a question on this so sorry for all the detail. I enjoy making videos, but please remember I am a hunter first. It takes a lot of time to do all the "extra" stuff when I just want to be hunting but I try my best.
I then added another set to this video where I shot a single. I just showed the retrieve on that one and didn't take a picture.

Awesome shooting and video. Thanks Korey. Image looks amazing. Do you have any issues tracking or finding close or running coyotes with the higher magnification? How would the FOV compare to a Pulsar trail XP50?

How would the FOV compare to a Pulsar trail XP50? There is always a balance between FOV and magnification. For coyote hunting in the open country that I hunt, the Super Yoter's FOV of 8.5° is just fine. Keep in mind, my previous scope was the Super Hogster with a FOV of 7.5° and before that was the PTS536 with a FOV of 4.5°. The 536 was limiting I have to admit and missed some multiples and didn't find some coyotes in my scope.
The Trail XP50 is 12.4°, so quite a bit larger FOV. In general, unless hunting mainly heavy cover, many coyote hunters like a little more magnification and many hog hunters want a little more FOV, but there are exceptions to every rule.

Thanks for the kind words on the various posts.

I secure a lot of land for coyote hunting through meeting people, sending letters, calling, helping out ranchers, etc. Once I gain access, I provide them updates on how I have done while hunting on their properties and even provide videos if they want to see them.
Before I ever leave to go hunting, I have verified all the calling locations I plan to call based on the forecasted wind. If the wind is showing some variable nature, I have a follow-up position in case the wind changes. I even plan my exact travel route and have it programmed into my phone. I do all of this with the help of OnXMaps and Google Earth. I know the exact spot and even where I am going to park my truck. This may all sound kind of robotic but having a set plan and sticking to it makes a big difference. The only time I deviate is in a situation where a group of coyotes lights up in a nearby area. If they don't respond on that stand, I will deviate slightly from my set plan if they are on ground I have access to hunt.
Years back I would drive around and kind of plan it as I go. I can tell you I am much more productive with the way I hunt now. The planning is a big part of the fun. There are some people that are very surprised that I don't go locating coyotes by howling. They would call what I do "cold calling." Every technique has their advantages and mine works for me.
I also track every kill and include the GPS location and sound being used when the coyote appears in an Excel spreadsheet. I do this for lots of reasons, but seeing patterns of sounds that work during different times of the year can be very helpful.

I just started doing this last season, so hopefully it pays off this season and going forward

Yes it has an app for iPhone or Android that is free in app store!.
The Yoter is the same focus as the Super Hogster, it works well and is easy to use. Some guys put focus zip tie but I don't run one on my Super Yoter or Super Hogster. In all honesty I don't focus mine a lot because it doesn't need it all the time to kill with but I don't care about videos so some guys like to tweak it.

Yes it will, a lot of guys are running the ones off Amazon, pretty much a big zip tie!
Honestly I'd try it first without, the rain, heat and humidity finally moved out last night and my buddy had his Super Hogster and they both looked great and I never adjusted the focus once.

I’ve been out at a family event for a few days. I believe the questions were answered. For me, a focus ring isn’t a nice to have, it is a necessity. With gloves on, the focus ring is even harder to use.
On the Hogsters, the Amazon Focus Ring can rub. There is more space on the Yoter so it actually works better. The other options that work on the Hogsters I haven’t tried. The ridges are slightly different and the objective is bigger so I don’t think the others will work without modification.

Double is right the Super Hogster app works for the Super Hogster, Super Yoter, and Phenom. Turn on wifi on the thermal, connect the phone to the thermal wireless network, password of 12345678. Yes the phone/tablet will probably say no Internet service because your thermal is not an Internet service. Launch the Super Hogster app and connect.
