Re: Shoot in heart NOT 100% value
Let's have few things clear:
1. Harvest value is determined by wound time and trophy integrity. The lower wound time and the higher trophy integrity gives a higher harvest value. The ideal situation is 0 sec. wound time and 100% trophy integrity, what means 100% harvest value.
2. A heart shot ALWAYS gives you 0 sec. wound time, but using an overpowered weapon, even if is ethical for that species, won't gives you 100% trophy integrity, so harvest value won't be 100%.
This is the perfect example (took from your statistics):
- heartshot - 0 sec. wound time
- 7 mm Magnum ammo - 82.026% trophy integrity
That's pretty logical: a 7 mm Magnum bullet can instantly kill a 900 kg. bison, so try to imagine what effect may have on a 20 kg. coyote. Try to use a smaller caliber, like .223 or .243, and see what happens!
P.S. Or you may try a bow/crossbow (i wasn't sure, because some time ago didn't worked for 100% harvest value, so i had to check. It seems to be fixed now!):
