What I think its interesting is the bullet going through and zooming off to the right

Why in the hell was he using a tracer in the woods like that????? Great way to start a fire.

Is that a solid? Looks like a ricochet off the ground after it hit the coyote.

Looks plenty lush and green very little chance of starting a fire I think.

Heck of and arch getting there I wish they would have shown a picture of the bullet damage.

Flatter than I would have guessed for a 9mm.
It is not legal in this state to use tracers. I have started several fires with tracers from M240s from tanks. We often had to remove all the tracers from the belts which is a pain. But it was very dry those times...

My experience with 7.62 tracer is that it does ricochet all over the place. I guess that burning out the tracer material will tend to make the bullet unstable.

I've also noticed that if the light is behind you, you can see ordinary 9mm (9x19) in flight too. I didn't know you could get a tracer version.

I'd agree about the fire risk too, at least in dry conditions. I've been on shoots with tracer where we had to stop repeatedly to put out fires.

I used thousands of ex british army tracer when culling goats. You got some amazing ricochets out of them and it made me take notice. I actually think the only difference is that you can see them so you notice it as At the same time i noticed by chance some indicators that my ordinary ammo might be behaving similarly.

Even though it doesn't look like the kind of area that would have rocks you can still have the occasional rock lying about like I do where I live. I believe it hit a rock after passing through the yote.
