One coyote that I arrow shot , as it was retreating from our calling set-up, was recovered about 1 mile from the spot that I shot it. My arrow went in the "out hole" on the coyote, so I figure at best I got one lung. When we did find the coyote about 4 hours later, it was still alive, and I had to shoot it again with my bow.
Coyotes have a will to live like no other critter!
