Maybe on the plains where there isn't enough cover and the terrain is just so, they can't get out of sight before they expire. You can watch them run 200-400 yards before they lay down. Where the terrain is more broken and rugged and the cover is thick, soft footed coyotes don't leave foot prints to follow in a hardwood forest where leaves cover the forest floor six inches thick. They won't leave a blood trail because of the small caliber, low velocity bullet, and, single sided wound with no exit. What little blood does come can quickly be absorbed by the surrounding fur. Because of the up and down nature of the terrain they're out of sight within a few jumps. All this leads to is crippled and unrecoverable game. IMHO, that's poor decision making on the part of the hunter. I've killed coyotes with the .22LR and it's considerably bigger brother cartridge the .22 Magnum. Most experienced hunters on these forums won't recommend the .22 Magnum for 100 yard shots and I agree. A search of the ".22 Magnum" should produce evidence that the more experienced hands recommend a shorter range, or no more than 100 yards for the little rimfire magnum. If the .22 Magnum which is 500 fps faster with the same bullet weight isn't a 100 yard gun, then the Long Rifle Velocitor is a far piece behind it.
