I was getting dressed to go to the gym this morning and my wife yelled at me that there was a coyote in the back yard, I looked out the window and there was a coyote sitting on its haunches looking for something to pounce on. I thought I would hav a little fun, so I opened the window and lip squeeked. It was raining like crazy.

The coyote snapped its head around, but right then another coyote sprang out of a shrub not ten yards from me. It looked at me, and ran around the side of the house. I told my wife there was two of them and proceeded to load my 204 Ruger. When I got to the front of the house he was about two hundred yards away, and I lip squeeked it in to about 30 yards. The 204 really does a good job on coyotes!

HA!   There was no exit hole! The yote was facing me dead on and I shot it right square in the chest. Dropped on the spot, kicked once, or twice, and went to coyote heaven.

I used a Sierra 39 gr. Blitzking bullet behind a charge of H 4895 at 3700 fps. Not a super hot load but very accurate in my rifle.

If you look under the yotes tail you will see the only "exit".
