This would go to strengthen my point about making a clean kill on the first shot, however, from another point of view if 1 in 10 hunters did what you did it is no wonder that Coyotes are moving east - buffet time.
Not blaming you, and not saying that Coyotes are not a threat because they are, but this was not the gist of my post.
I am very familiar with Coyotes from their activity on our farm in West Texas, (mixed farming including cattle). All I can say is, make the first shot count and if you live in the suburbs like me, bring your outdoor pets inside at night. Sadly, it is the carelessness of pet owners that contribute to the bad rep. that Coyotes have.
As for your picture - what can I say that won't have you chugging Titos and trying to find out where I live . On the other hand you could just put me on "Ignore" . I'm done with this thread.
