Interesting discussion men. But IMHO your over thinking it with turrets.

After 60 years and a few thousand yotes killed I have always felt any yote, gives you a kill zone around 8" inch zone maybe 10 for eastern yotes. Easy thinking is paper plate size target.

For newbie callers I have always taught tight quarter hunters to zero at 200. (Tight quarters is eastern us, tall deserts and farm country.) Most calibers will give you about 1.5" high at 100 and ~7" in low at 300. ( reference 100 grain 6mm round) More than enough to manage a kill shot in an 8 inch kill zone. (paper plate!)

For plains callers I have preached a 300 yard zero. 4.5" high at 100 and 12" inches low at 400. (reference 100 grain 6mm round) Bottomline on shots a tad over 400 just aim for the back as then you'll hit the bottom

So no turrets are required if you set your zero for your open long range conditions. In fact they are overrated unless your doping the wind on any live target. Then they are very important on yotes held up. Its on straight on held up because your no longer shooting a paper plate, instead your shooting a 1x6" board which is about the size of the yotes brisket or 5.5"

Now my long distance yote gun is a Remington 660, chambered in a Rem 6mm. I shoot 100 grains Sierra SBT Game kings. It a big bullet for yotes and will anchor them ASAP. Yet its fur friendly. I am pushing it at around 2792 FPS with IMR 4350.


MIL DOTS is perfect as most yotes average 24 inches tall except the monstrous Eastern Coyote.
