When he got within 15 yards, I let the lead fly.
With birdshot, the range is the critical thing.
I shot my Chow dog at 20 feet, you shot your coyote at 45 feet.
Big difference, the little lead round balls slow down a lot at 45 feet.
I have seen 14 humans hit at inside-the-house range with birdshot, torso shots, and every one of them died. Most of them were dead when us Paramedics got there. I am talking about less than 20 feet.
Nothing is more lethal than birdshot at such close range.
