I attended a seminar for coyote hunting last weekend and the speaker said he shoots only soft point and doesn't like a ballistic tip or hollow point for coyotes and generally shoots them in the head. When asked why he doesn't like BT he said more penetration.
Is this really an issue with Ballistic tips? Have i been using the wrong ammo for coyotes this whole time? Not a pro at anything but when I hear these so called experts say they do nothing but head shots I have to flip the BS card out. I will even go further to say they don't kill very many coyotes. If they killed the coyotes they say there would not be any left. Just my .02.
