Gear for Night Hunting Coyotes

One of the great things about coyote hunting is that there are so many different techniques to use to have success. Depending on the individual state's law, trapping, running with dogs, hunting during the day or even at night is legal. Coyotes are one of the few species that are legal to pursue at night, and doing so can be a blast. When compared to day hunting coyotes, a lot of the gear is similar. However, having a few extra pieces of gear can really increase your chances of success. 

1. Night Vision and Thermal Imaging Technology:

Traditionally, a bright, snowy, moonlit night is considered perfect coyote hunting conditions. But the most important piece of gear you can have to elevate your coyote hunting game is night vision or thermal. These are great as a scope on a rifle or a handheld to look around. They can also be used interchangeably--  a thermal scope on a Picatinny rail can be easily removed and put back on for easy scanning of an area and shooting. 

2. Powerful Flashlights and Spotlights:

While night vision technology is indispensable, a powerful flashlight or spotlight remains a fundamental tool for navigation and target identification. Choose a flashlight with adjustable brightness settings to avoid spooking coyotes unnecessarily. Red or green lens filters can help preserve your night vision and minimize disturbance.

3. Quality Riflescope with Illuminated Reticle:

Investing in a high-quality riflescope with an illuminated reticle is crucial for accurate shot placement during low-light conditions. Ensure that the scope is compatible with your firearm and has features like windage and elevation adjustments. Illuminated reticles make target acquisition faster and more precise. 

4. Electronic Predator Calls:

Coyotes are highly vocal creatures, and using electronic predator calls can be a game-changer for luring them into range. Choose a call that imitates distressed prey or simulates coyote vocalizations. Remote-controlled calls allow you to maintain a safe distance from your setup while maintaining control over the sounds.

6. Decoys:

Visual aids like decoys can enhance your chances of attracting curious coyotes. Motion-activated or remote-controlled decoys add realism to your setup, increasing the likelihood of a successful hunt. Place the decoy strategically to draw the attention of coyotes and create a more immersive hunting experience.

7. Suppressor:

Suppressors are a great piece of gear to have on a rifle while night hunting because of the sound reduction they offer that might disturb people and animals while night hunting. Suppressors also help protect your hearing! While it can take some time to order and receive a suppressor, certain cans can fit multiple caliber rifles and actually be a versatile piece of gear.
