Nikon Coyote Scopes – Perfect for Coyote Hunting
The Coyote hunting has become a lot more popular in America because of the upsurge in coyote population and the challenge to hunt these predators. The slaughter of domestic pets and reduced numbers of deer, turkeys and other game animals is an issue caused by the explosion in the coyote population. Many states have very long hunting seasons for coyote with no bag limit to try to check this varmints population explosion.
Coyotes are extremely clever predators and provide the hunter a challenging hunting experience. They have excellent vision, excellent hearing and scent detection. Hunters need to attract coyotes to come to him because they are too smart to stalk. They get this done generally by using audible calls that sound like a dying rabbit or another coyote.Coyotes are smart animals and difficult to get in range. If the hunter is a good caller and he is lucky, he may get a chance. Getting off a clean shot at a coyote is one of the rewarding challenges a hunter can encounter.
In order to help meet the unique challenges of coyote hunting, Nikon created the Nikon Coyote scopes. It is a Nikon Buckmaster scope with a special Bullet Drop Compensating (BDC) reticle, available camo finishes, and an anti-reflective device (ARD).
The BDC reticle is calibrated {to|for} the .223, 55 grain bullet sighted in at 100 yards or the 22-250, 55 grain bullet sighted in at 200 yards. The function of the BDC reticle is to compensate for bullet drop beyond the range that you zeroed your rifle in at. The BDC holdover reference circles are large, allowing you to keep aim on the coyote accurately even as it continues to walk.
The Nikon Coyote scopes can be ordered in matte black or 2 camo finishes. The camo will match some of the new camo varmint rifles available on the market, and when used with full body camo it will diminish the ability of a coyote to spot the hunter. Matching camo rings are also for sale.
The ARD installs right onto the objective bell of the scope. It features a honey-comb pattern that eliminates glare off the objective lens that could spook a coyote. The interesting part of it is the shooter cannot see the ARD when peering through the scope. The shooter always has a clear field of view.
The Nikon Coyote Special scopes come in 3-9x40mm and 4.5-14x40mm. For shots under 200 yards the 3-9x40mm will be enough magnification. For shots at 200 yards or further the 4.5-14x40mm will be the better choice.
