What's your longest coyote confirmed kill?

No BS here my longest was at 1153 yards. Now before you say bull, I was shooting a .50 BMG that was zeroed at 800. And no I didn't hit him first shot, nor the second, but on the third I finally figured out my wind and hit him. He had heard the first two rounds wiz by and had sat down I guess cause he wasn't sure what it was. Surprisingly it didn't do as much damage as I would have thought, but 700 gr. A-maxes still punch a pretty good sized whole. My best with a regular rifle was 467 yards with my old 7mm rem. while elk hunting.
 
Coyote laying down at 552yds last winter. Held 2 mils high and on the back hip for wind. I was certain of the range beforehand so that helped.
I've missed a bunch but I improve my shooting every year. I'm almost starting to enjoy practising as much as hunting. Almost.
 
.50 made a 1/2 in. Entry with about a 4in exit hole. I figured it would have blown him apart like a 22-250 hitting a prairie dog, but I was surprised.
 
Furthest was somewhere close to 500 meters? My pace count and my friends had us close to 500 meters. For those that were in the military you know what your pace count is or was. You walk a measured 100 meters several times and count either all steps or every left (or right)step. Average them out and that is your pace count.

Anyways my Buddy and I were laying up on dry river bank over looking a valley. He was on the jack rabbit call and I saw this coyote sitting down looking at us way out there. I cranked up my scope and held over him a bit and squeezed the trigger. Lucky shot hit him square in the chest. Was using Factory Federal ammo I think 90gr bullet from my 25-06 Sendero. Now I have a Range finder and a GPS so I can measure exact distance to know for sure. Now all I need is cooperation on the coyotes part.

I've tipped over a couple coyote at just over 450 yards with my Rem700 VLS with 55gr Vmax reloads. Both times it dropped them in their tracks. Very little to no wind both times which helped...

My farthest confirmed was at 604. My brother and I were side by side and he thought that I was crazy to even consider the shot. I though, well he's leaving anyway so why not. I have to admit that there was a ton of luck riding on that bullet. That is my farthest confirmed kill on anything. The second is 530 on a prairie dog. Plenty of luck there too.
