My son and I were out in the mountains of southern Arizona today scouting for his upcoming Coues hunt. we always bring a rifle because you never know when you're going to see a lion or coyote. Today, we watched 3-coyotes chase a Coues doe up a steep canyon. The coyotes were relentless, fortunately for the doe, they finally gave up the chase as she hit the saddle of the hill and crested over. The coyotes were about 800-yards away but never presented a good shot opportunity as they were running the entire time. On our hike out of the area, my son, saw another coyote, standing broadside across a small canyon. The coyote stood still for a little too long, which allowed my son to get his ear plugs in and take the 112-yard shot. He was shooting a 300 PRC with handloaded Hornady 230 Gr. A-tips pushing about 2,900 fps. Needless to say, the coyote dropped in it's tracks.
Too much gun?!?!

Oh, I dont know. It's dead, aint it?Yes ,too much gun
Just curious.....was that a single large rock behind him before the shot? 
Never too much Gun.
It's the Bullets, 300PRC and 124 H.H. At 3800fps.
Would have been a perfect Combo.
Congratulations on a Yote.

Actually nice to see the rapid expansion of the A-tip on such a small animal!!
Never too much on Yotes, but I wouldn't want to take that combo on the Coues hunt.

I shot a bobcat at about 40 yds with a 300 WSM loaded for white tails. Same exit as your photo. I asked my taxidermist to patch the hole with red velvet and turned that side of the pedestal mount toward the wall.
I shot a coyote with a 338 win mag with 250 gr partitions. I knew a shoulder shot would have blown it up so shot him in the lungs. It blew him about 10 ft off the caribou kill he was standing on top of. When I got to it, his mouth was open with a chunk of bou on its tongue. Exit hole was only about 1.5" but looked like half its innards were trying to follow the bullet out the exit. I never shoot anything in the shoulder, except brown bears, as I feel it's a waste of hide and meat.
Dog is dead, since you were scouting for Coues deer you probably weren't out collecting hides so i think the results are perfect. You probably saved a few deer this season......
