RE: i think i shot a a really nice one....need some input
i did that before only with a 6 shot 3" mag and it was a coyote (which coyotes are hard to spot around here) i called him in during fall turkey season. i shot him at about 25 yards in the throat and he spun around a cupple of times and took off. there was blood on the ground where i hit him but i circled and circled and found no blood or no coyote. so i went on back to hunting turkeys. when it was finally time to quit, i damn near tripped over him on my way back to the truck. he was about 1/2 mile from where i shot him deader than a doornail. what's so funny is, that's not the direction he ran after i shot him. i found him by complete accident!!!
