Dayum! That was the fastest acting sleeping pill I've ever seen!
Was the yote injured prior to the shot? It seemed like it was limping on its front left leg a bit.

Nicely done, and I really like the follow up shot! May not have been needed, but no reason to ever let something suffer if we can help it.

I thought I noticed a limp when he first walked up to the bait?
Outstanding!
And Timely. As I was about to post in reguard to the "Power pup" BT in .30 cal. for hunting this type of game within 75 yards or so and your video just demonstrated that this is indeed a winning combo with power enough to drop a coyote cleanly and ethically. and that thermion 2 , wow , nice imaging
thanks for posting the vid and some good shooing.
cheers

You probably did it a favor then. A slow death, starving and unable to hunt, vs a quick clean kill. It literally looked like it laid down and went to sleep.

Yeah, I don't know...Someday if I develop a limp I'd prefer not to be put down right away. lol

Perfect shot, very humane.
It was instant death without any moment after impact. No death dance I always see with raccoons.

Would the Hatsan 125 in .22 caliber with JSB Heavy pellets -18.13gr, traveling at 825 fps and generating some 26.5 ft/lbs of muzzle energy, be capable of downing a coyote at 25 yards with a headshot, at the eybrow level, right between the eyes? Just being curious, that's all. We don't have coyotes in Slovenia, yet... but you never know, what might happen in the near future. We never had jackals before, but nowadays we do.
