Then turn around in the same post and say this

So if someone else makes a judgement in 4 coyotes they know nothing but you can do it in 4 coyotes?
No you are missing it what I am saying is 2 things if 4 coyotes is your sample and 3 were bang flops 1 was a spinner, you may not have an issue. The questions is why was the one a spinner. The other is out of 4 coyotes I probably need a finisher on 1 of them with a 223 no matter what bullet I shoot at them. There are variables including where the shot hit the coyote. As long as I don’t see splashing I am pretty happy. But I hate finishing shots too
