Persistence Pays Off | Team Thermal Predator Hunt

A night in the fields with Colt from Coyote Academy turned into one of the most memorable hunts yet. From confirming zero and working out suppressor blowback to making multiple stands and dealing with smart coyotes slipping downwind, it was a night full of challenges, laughs, and learning.

But persistence paid off. After some close calls, we finally lined up a perfect countdown double. Both coyotes dropped, marking our first double together and a reminder of why we hunt—not just for predator control, but for the camaraderie, teamwork, and memories that come with it.

Gear We Ran:

AR-10 chambered in .22-250 with Pulsar Thermion Duo DXP55

Diligent Defense Enticer S suppressor

Hornady ammo (Superformance 50gr)

RIX Titan T6 thermal scanner

Savage Axis Precision .243 with Pulsar Thermion 2 XL50 (Colt’s setup)

FoxPro electronic call

Big thanks to 365 Thermal, FoxPro, and the hunting community that makes all this possible. This is what predator hunting is all about—adapt, overcome, and celebrate the wins together.
