Last Monday I took my 9 year old son out on a few calling sessions. We called in 3 coyotes but he only got a shot at 1. 25 yards with 20ga number 2 buck shot. Coyote was broadside and I visibly saw the pellets hit the yote. He seemed badly hurt but he ran and made it to the thickest stuff on the planet and we never found him.
Tuesday went back to another property where it also is mega thick. Called in a yote. He came out n our lap at 12 yards. He was coming right at us when my son drew down on him. His head came up looking right at us when my son shot. Again I saw the pellets hit him in the low face and neck area. He went down but jumped right up and made it to thick cover and we never found him.
No doubt they are both dead but my son wants his picture with his kills.
Any recommendations as far as ammo that will stop em n their tracks out to 30yards? Where we hunt we really don’t have a shot further than that.
Thankyou for any help!
