    2018 Coyote #2 and "Pups" - More Federal Fusion

    I don't usually stalk coyotes. If they aren't mousing or bedded down, they generally just move too fast for me. Either they come when called or are already in range or I don't attempt to shoot them. This was a bit different as I spied a coyote hanging around with 2 little ones that I assumed were her pups. I watched for about 5 minutes before making a long stalk to get within shooting range. Most of that stalk was blind because of the landscape. I lost sight of the trio soon after leaving my ridgetop position and did not see them again until I was about 150 yards away...

    It had to happen. The Federal Fusion wasn't always going to produce nice clean kills and on the hogs I had shot, it obviously had not. The round may be mostly pelt friendly, but after two partial eviscerations on this large female, I didn't do any exploratory examination. The smell was quite unpleasant.

    Kill a hog. Save the planet.

    Nice shooting DNS. It certainly appears that the bullet came apart on that dog. I thought they were bonded? I've got a box but haven't tried them yet because I've got a ton of the SST's to shoot up. From your vids it appears they both act similar which I never would have expected. Well done.

        I would be surprised if it came apart, but it can happen. Sorry about the ruptured intestines. That put the brakes on further examination.

          Why is that, just out of curiosity?
