Both were hit twice for good measure with 180 grain. I know overkill, but it's fun to shoot! I aim center mass not trying for vitals.... gut shot both....both stood up with probably 10 seconds to live, then I hit them again in in the boiler works and neck shot on the other.
Tuck those guts back inside and flip them over on their good side, take pics and post away. Aim for the vitals, you will inadvertently get gut shots but don't do it on purpose. If you have to have the over kill, put them down quickly first so they don't suffer. Then do a mag dump, set them on fire, drag them behind your truck or whatever else floats your boat but keep that to yourself and don't post or share it anywhere...
I agree with Jeremy and GC. Intentionally shooting for center mass without hitting vitals, is a bit off. I once had a customer complain that about the power of the 6.5 grendel. I told him that I never had a coyote take one and get up. He claimed just the opposite, that when he shot them in the guts they all got up and ran off. A little digging and I find out he INTENTIONALLY shoots them in the guts.
Look, I don't want to get high and mighty, but there are a lot of guys that hunt ethically, and take pride in what we do. Put'em down hard, put'em down clean. Are you always going to make a perfect, clean shot? No. Things happen. But there are guys who get their kicks outta shooting them and making them suffer. Same kind of guys who hang meat from hooks on fence lines. Those guys are unhinged.
The PM community is a good bunch of folks. That being said, the occasional screw ball can and will slide in. Like Jeremy and Gary said, take the best photos you can, try to show the respect for them that most of us have. What happens in the outdoors stays in the outdoors, unless you post it.
That's my humble two cents.
