Okay, perhaps there's no crater upon second inspection, my apologies.
But the Stinger makes virtually every coyote dead in such a brush condition, or lack thereof in this instance. That would be the honest truth, no exaggeration. The long stroke of the spring and it's ability to remove far more snare cable from the snare loop is part of the reason the device is so deadly.
It's become very seldom that I have to pull the .22 out for dispatch these days.
Your second series of picts... It's hard to tell how fast he died according to the first pict, his mouth is open and I am looking for a slight pocket of swelling under the jaw. In the second picture, again hard to tell but it does look to me like he has that pocket of swelling under his jaw. Not a full fledged waterhead by no means, far from it. Any coyote that has that slight swelling under his jaw has not been killed outright by the snare. Such a coyote may have lasted a few hours.
Mid neck catches with Stingers are alsmost always blasted out clean and no pocket of lymph fluid will exist.
My comparisons of quick kill coyotes are made centered around the Ram Powersnare. It kills far faster than any compression spring does, and due to that fact, it kills the coyote much cleaner every time. Compare the Ram to the amberg, and the Ram blows it away, no contest, makes the amberg look sad. However compare the amberg to what we used prior to the Ram and every snareman in the world would have been in love with the device. Again, the compression springs do not measure up to the Ram, both in percentage of death rate and speed of death. Much better than what we used prior to the Ram, but close to Ram results only 25% of the time. A ram killed coyote dies extremely fast, under 5 minutes every time by the neck and a 99% plus kill rate.
So I compare the effectiveness of each device to the Ram Powersnare. My Stingers with the filed locks are the only thing that comes close to the eficiency of the Ram, it's effectiveness in terms of under 5 minute kills is dependant upon the brush conditions, parking lot snare environments will yield the virtual 100% fast kill and it goes down from there until you get into super springy , super thick light brush that does not entangle.
I have to admit that a Stinger is a tiny bit more visible than a compression spring, but 55 coyotes in a day on Stingers says that it doesn't really matter!
