I think I panic a bit with coyotes. I don't call them, so usually by the time I see them, when I get my rifle up, they are gone. So I am prone to shoot quickly. Sort of like with the last one, I thought I had the recorder on and several seconds of footage into this before pulling the trigger, but apparently it was more like 1 second before the first shot.
The first shot enter back on the rib cage, catching a bit of lung. It was a shot where unbeknownst to me, the coyote was quartered toward me. The shot exited out the the side of the abdomen and the coyote went down. The Hornady 123 gr. SST tore open a 1.25" hole and dragged out a bunch of intestines with it.
The second shot was as the yote was going down for the 2nd time and punctured the left thigh muscle with just a simple through and through, too late to be effective.
