Good rule of thumb is, if you know you made a bad hit...leave em lay. Liver/gut hits, the longer the better. Min 4hrs is my rule, longer if possible. They will usually lay down within a short distance. If left be, they will often die where they laid down initially.
This is great advice though it is harder and harder to do each year with so many coyotes about. Thirty years ago I wouldn't have thought twice.
