You keep a log of pigs you shoot?
A round that delivers around 100 ft lbs of energy at 100 yards is not an adequate round for much of anything. Hashtag rabbits and sparrows.

Some animals are just tougher than others. Helped a family friend years ago check his hog traps over a weekend and his SOP was to walk up to the trap and shoot the pigs between the ear hole and eye socket with a .22LR. Had this old single shot that he'd had for years. Anyway we pull up on one trap and this boar is in there, nothing huge but maybe 150-180. Shot him the same as any other and the pig hit the dirt with fluids running out of his nose and mouth. Went back to the truck and grabbed a rope to drag him out with, our knives to clean it and a couple bottles of water (AKA Coors Light). When we got to the trap maybe 5 minutes later that boar was up and chewing on the trap. Gun shot on the side of his head showed burnt hair and a patch of bone showing through the hide. Darnedest thing I'd ever seen.
Hope you get a shot on that Yote again if'n he isn't down and out somewhere. I'd like to see that mount when it's done.
Richard.

I have shot a coyote and a pretty big buck with my 308 where it knocked them down for 15-20 seconds, just to have them get up and run. The yote was not recovered, the buck got shot a second time.
If I read the OP correct, it was a broadside shot with the crosshairs right where the neck meets the shoulder. I suspect the bullet hit the neck right above the spine. From what I have seen this shot knocks them out temporarily, but not fatal unless the spine is severed.
