Thermal coyote hunting video from the pros

[markT]

These boys know how to get it done all the way down to editing and audio..

 

[Kermit in Va.]

Great video - would like to know distances and equipment being used

I wonder if they picked up that coyote that got sprayed by the skunk?

That Rico thermal is crazy good, the new Alpha is even better...

 

[roband]

Ive watched these guys stuff before they are into it thats for sure.
Dont know if anyone has tried it much but their timing (trigger pulls)on the doubles is off the charts.

The thermal is a Rico Mk 1. The guy is over on Predator Masters.

Are they listed as O’Neill ops? Would love to follow them over there. I’ve watched most of their videos ( few pod casts) interesting guys and story behind James O’Neill.

I don't know about O'Neill ops. The guys seem to be thanking a guy called "skinny" in the Predator Hunting sub forum.

Great videos. I've just started night hunting coyotes. When you are watching the videos do you find your self holding your breath waiting for the shot ? I about passed out waiting for them to shoot!

 

[markT]

Yep. They make it like you are there. That’s what makes their videos so good. (IMO)

The Kill Box is great when they team up with the Night Crew guys

Another way to hunt is with lights and I think the Night Crew guys are the masters of it. They recently took their truck mount setup to a ground unit and are picking up way more animals.

Using a thermal the hunter can remain “unseen.”

James O'Neill...O'NeillOps...goes by Skinney on Predatormasters forum

 

[markT]

Yep, found him (them) and joined the PdMstr’s forum.

I had no idea the animals would come that close using lights. I’ve never hunted them at night before but I’m about to look into it! What guns/caliber do you think they were using? That video is really amazing to me.

They don't see you with the lights either, like being on stage, and it's really easy to spot their eyes a long way off. Just scan above the ground first then kind of ease them into the beam. Watch a few of the Night Crew vids as they have some incredible footage, and the lights are cheap too. They have a lot of bobcats inside 20' which is ridiculous. Their shooter runs a thermal most of the time but they run the lights for the video.... and it works.

They mostly uses Gunwerks platforms, 22Creemoor with a bit of 22-250 in the mix if im not mistaken
