I managed to call three smaller coyotes out of the bottoms and one larger coyote from behind me that seemed to be dominant over the other three coyotes. He seemed to try to shoo them away, stopping to mark his territory along the way...
He did have two exit holes on his left side, but I could not tell if they were from two bullets or not. The 2nd shot appeared to have too much lead on him, but he seemed to stumble with the shot. I did not find the entry holes, mostly because I was trying to handle him as little as possible (forgot nitrile gloves).
He was a good-sized coyote, but as he managed to disappear into the creek bottom, I didn't try to haul him out to get him on a scale, though I have not doubts he was well over 30 lbs based on the two I shot last week (34 and 39 lbs).
