The popularity of coyote hunting in the United States has increased immensely with the population of the coyotes themselves.  Culling of farm animals as well as wild game like deer and turkey by coyotes is a big problem today.   Many states have very long hunting seasons for coyote with generous bag limits in an effort to check this varmint’s population explosion.

Coyotes are intelligent critters and are a challenge to hunt. They feature keen vision, very good hearing and scent detection.    Hunters want to get coyotes to come to him as they are too smart to stalk.  Hunters get this done generally with audible calls that simulate a dying rabbit or another coyote.When moved by the hunter’s call, coyotes most likely will come from downwind to check the wind prior to moving in close.  If the hunters efforts pan out as planned and the coyote comes within range, they seldom stay in one place.  Getting off a clean shot at a coyote is one of the rewarding challenges a hunter can face.

In order to help meet the unique challenges of coyote hunting you need a 
Nikon Coyote Special 3-9×40 Mossy Oak Brush Rifle Scope.  It is a Nikon Buckmaster 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 zeroed at 100 yards or the 22-250, 55 grain round zeroed at 200 yards.  The use of the BDC reticle is to compensate for bullet drop beyond the range that you sighted your rifle in at.  The BDC holdover reference circles are large, that lets you to keep aim on the coyote accurately even as it continues to trot.

The Nikon Coyote Special 3-9×40 Mossy Oak Brush Rifle Scope 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 coupled with full body camo it will greatly reduce the ability of a coyote to spot the hunter.  Matching camo rings are also available.

The ARD is assembled right onto the objective bell of the scope.  It features a honey-comb pattern that eliminates glare off the objective lens that could scare a coyote.  The interesting part of it is the shooter cannot see the ARD when viewing through the scope.  The shooter always has a clear field of view.

The Nikon Coyote Special 3-9×40 Mossy Oak Brush Rifle Scope 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.
