Default (WARNING BLOODY) coyote hunt today

It was a beautiful day so i decided to go coyote calling, made a few stands with nothing. then about 11:30 i called in a coyote but the grass was too tall to get a shot, lesson learned. next stand i positioned myself where i was elevated. 3 minutes into the call i spotted movement on the opposite ridge about 200 yards away. the coyote stood for about 10 seconds and headed my way, he stopped again at 150 yards. i was shooting a sako vixen in 6x45 using tucker 65 gr. benchrest bullets. this is what a center chest shot looks like with that bullet only doing 2850 fps. not sure if it's a male or female but that leg is facing the wrong direction.

I have a CZ 527 6x45, but I use 58 VMAX in it, not as messy, My 6BR with 65 VMAX sometimes does messy like that sometimes.
