Who cares if they run off and dies from a 22? You can't eat them and their hides are only worth 5$ skinned this year.
I do, and I don't know where you're located, but I'm betting that I will get about $20. per coyote again this winter, and that is w/o skinning them.
The coyote is a vital critter to mother nature, and deserves more respect than suffering at the hands of manwith poor shot and poor caliber choices! Just because YOU dont' like them doesn't mean you should wound one and not attempt to finish the job!! That's a pathetic way of thinking on any hunted game, weather it be a dove, coyote, turkey, elk, etc.
