The wind didn't hit here until 11:00 or so. I was 40 miles east of Pueblo though.

I am shooting a .243 with a Sierra 70 gr. Blitzkings. I don't know what is going on, but I haven't had anydo this kind of damage to these coyotes until today. The one that I shot yesterday was a nice clean kill. Today, all of themwere blow ups. I even tried to hide the bad side of them.

The last one pictured was shot at 431 yards. I went back this afternoon to range it. If you look at the picture, you will see that part of it's jaw is torn up. That is where I hit it on the first shot. I didn't see it run away or anything so I started to walk out towards it. When I got about 100 yards or so away,it stood up but had it's head way down low and was walking funny. I dropped to a sit and shot theside out ofit.

I have a few other pictures of coyotes shot with the same gun, same load, and none of them but one that I shot in the shoulder looked anything like these did.
