Optics for Deep Woods Coyotes

Low Powered Scopes for Coyote Hunting

My favorite coyote optic is a 1-4X or 1.5-4.5X scope. Part of the reason for this preference is that such scopes are also my favored deer and bear hunting optics. Historically promoted as scopes for “dangerous-game rifles,” the same qualities that make them suitable for shooting charging Cape Buffalo also make them ideal for close-in charging coyote. A large field of vision, particularly when set at the lowest — coupled with the high light-gathering quality of that same low power — makes these scopes perfect for use in the deep woods.
