thanks for the info. thise yote was definately struck but lost unfortunately
had i been out for coyotes i would have brought my calls and some stouter loads. this area just happens to be shotgun and archery only. possesion of rifles or pistols is prohibited. bummer.
next time i go for rabbits or birds i'll be sure to pack some buckshot. the dogs are there, i know that much. this one just happened to walk right out in front of me, at 40 yards none the less!
