well that sucks Nomad, sounds like a low belly hit to me, and what happens is them guts slide down and plugs the hole,
some times they make it some times they don't, all depends on how bad the hole is and how far them guts fall down or OUT of it

as they say coyotes have to eat too, no critter ever really goes to waste, mother nature has a clean up crew out 24/7/365 LOL
lousy weather today and tomorrow, should have most hunters riding the couch at camp LOL
