Two kinds of coyote shootings... callers and... "Other"
(Do note we have to generalize...)

Callers tend to be disciplined shots, most certainly having the most perfect opportunities, and the second most perfect opportunities and so on, maybe even on past the hundredth most perfect opportunities! You get my drift?

"Other" folks whack at coyotes at every opportunity, sometimes standing 100 yards or even less, but generally a non controlled style shooting opportunity whereas the caller picks the location and attempts to set up on the approach of the coyote long before the coyote has even heard the call. "Other" people take shots, potshot, other shots, and some people even stupid shots at coyotes.

The difference, precision shooting vs "other shooting"!

The caller makes a well placed shot... often. "Others" often take a very wide variety of random shots including running at (???) 35 mph, 40 mph??? Or whatever a kiyute can do.

Shot placement by a well disciplined caller with high shock ammo will lend to near perfect kills and near perfect pelts, in fact a pelt with a .224" entrance hole on the undersides centrline of the pelt where the tanner or furrier rips the pelt is still perfect, most certainly! Meaning, the most disciplined caller who wants to take the most perfect pelt will limit his shots to a face front shot and tuck the bullet in the brisket. There are things those very disciplined callers do to increase their odds at a perfect opportunity.

Smart callers will pick either the face front brisket shot, or a broadside rib thru rib shot. However, not rib thru shoulder, not rib thru vertebrae, rib thru neck, etc.

Others simply try to whack at coyotes in hopes that one will fall over dead and at the same time hope/pray that it is not all blowed up to pieces etc.

Less than perfect hits by non controlled or careful shots yield, percent-wise, a certain amount of bad exits. With violent ammo, that is a disgusting mess, please pay your master Hutterite custom skinner his $30 for the job coyote with a thankful heart that he, th poor bass poopie, will clean up the mess, and then poor Rebelato, and his buddies, buy that "high grade" but "repaired"(??????) mess of a coyote for big money only to find out that it falls to pieces and he attempts to salvage a section of the pelt or even throws it away. One more reason to not use coyotes, and switch to Finn Coon or ranch fox which are a true pleasure for furriers to work with$$$$$$$$.

They are trying to make money, not for fun.

So violent ammo when thrown about at running coyotes or coyotes beyond a shooters range, that regularly exit or hit bone such as legs, pelvis's, vertebrae and more vertebrae blow the living feces out of the pelt often.... then poor bass poop guy!
