Early this morning coyote #2 fell to the 6mm ARC, or rather I should say it ran like a scalded cat and then fell - about 75 yards away. I shot slightly back, making a gut shot. Bullet (Sierra 70 gr. Blitz King) did not exit once again. I will attach the video later once uploaded.
At the shot the coyote, a young male, 2-pointer, ran down the hill to the right, so this morning I searched a big area, riding the 4-wheeler along the tractor roads, searching hillsides here and there to no avail. I then looked up in the hay field and still no coyote. I was beginning to think he got away, and as I was leaving I decided to go up the field / tree line and circle up in the hay field. There he lay, probably 75 yards or so from the bait site. I figured a wounded coyote would most likely run down hill, and he did initially but then turned and went up the hillside. I came close to losing this one.

I've only had one 2-pointer and it was also a pup. Way to go 6, i'm waiting for the video.
