I wish I had your luck. I do believe that if you shoot enough, you will get runners, and you may loose some.
Quote:I shot a yote this am running across the feedlot,
distance 300 yards +/-
cal .204 ruger
bullet 40 gr V-Max.
speed 3450 fps
Poi, third rib from the back.(gut shot)
Result, 300 yard tracking job.....and recovered yote.(with help from dogs)
What did I learn "AGAIN"????????
Make good shots if you expect "DRT" yotes.
I know this isn't always the case.
Look at the real kill zone as compared to the blue circled area. I've seen many hit there and the shooter thinking it went into the boiler room. This coyote is slightly quartering too, had it been a true broadside the bluish circle would look even further forward.
I don't know who's pic this is or I would give them credit.
+1
I know a lot of people who shoot at the wrong area. That picture comes from a very informative post located here:

All that this shows is that placement is the most important thing, given that your caliber starts in .2xx not .4xx.....lol
