I grew up a waterfowl junkie as well. That's pretty much all I hunted from 10 years old through my twenties. When I wasn't waterfowl hunting, I was working waterfowl shows. Then got introduced to coyote calling 15 years ago, and have been hooked ever since. I haven't shot a duck or goose in...
I've shot a few coyotes with them, and I've noticed the same thing. They can be pretty explosive, but that's what I've seen with all vmax. But I always get great accuracy out of them.
I used to think the same way, but I've gotten soft over the years. Or they've earned my respect over the years, from their will to survive and how cunning they can be. I don't care if it's just a stinkin coyote, but I don't want anything to suffer.
