Summary

Increase your coyote encounters by 10X – Take to the night. Jim and Mark sit down with two-time world coyote calling champion (using his voice) and expert night hunter Matt McHugh to soak up every last ounce of his night hunting expertise.  Hunting personally and guiding, Matt spends approximately 150 nights afield each year chasing these crafty critters. To say he speaks from experience is an understatement. We cover calling setups, thermal, night vision, firearms platforms, cartridges, tripod use and more in this night hunting extravaganza. Tune in to up your predator game and put more fur on the ground. As always, we want to hear your feedback! Let us know if there are any topics you'd like covered on the Vortex Nation™ podcast by asking us on Instagram @vortexnationpodcast

How's it going everybody?

0:25.0

fashion naturally don't don't get us wrong there right off the bat but night hunting

0:29.2

for predators coyotes especially we have Matt across him from us Matt McHugh here and he is a

0:37.2

predator calling hunting expert we actually had them on another podcast here and depending on how these

0:44.0

release you may have heard it yet or you may have yet to hear it but it's another

0:46.6

great one. Kind of more specific to the day stuff. But now you I mean you said you do

0:51.3

what 99% of your hunting now after the sun goes down I mean when it's dark out and

0:56.8

your traips and around and time a day where you can't really see that much.

1:00.1

Yeah yeah well with the naked eye some of the equipment you have here will get into. You can see quite a bit out there. But this is something I know. One, I think we wanted to get into some of the topic of, you know, is it a whole different ball game when it gets to being nighttime in terms of hunting, especially again, we're kind of key on coyotes a lot here, but is it a whole different ball game from the

There's a lot of equipment out there that is designed to help you be able to see and then obviously make better shots and that goes into everything from just artificial white light.

1:45.5

You've got other kinds of light that are not necessarily visible to the naked eye, but

1:49.6

visible under other pieces of equipment. You've got thermals, you've got night vision, and maybe even some other

1:54.9

stuff out there that I might miss. Different colors of light perhaps? Yes, yes, exactly. That's a lot of the stuff I've been

2:00.1

interesting because I would love to get out there during the evening time, the nighttime.

2:05.0

I think one of the nice things about it is if you work during the day and you want to go hunting,

2:10.0

right? Your best bet is then, especially during the winter time, because it gets dark
