Because two is one, and one is none.
No one mentioned that bird shot is not considered a good defensive load.

A shotgun loaded as suggested is about as good as throwing a rock at a bear. Well, maybe not quite as bad. I'd imagine the bear would become enraged for certain once shot with birdshot. I'd take about any handgun over birdshot vs a bear.

I don't know you and you don't know me, yet you seem quick to judge. What would you have done differently? Would you have not shot the coyotes? Would you have not posted about the experience while you waited?'Cause here in America, Husky, many folks look at 'yotes as something lower than dirt and don't care whether or not the animal is DOA or just mortally wounded, and suffering a slow and painful death. Many feel the singing dogs deserve to suffer that cruel death just because they kill/eat game animals that sportsmen pursue. Even tho I'm not one of those folks and feel any animal I put my sights on, deserves a quick and humane death, I know of many that feel differently. Kinda like those folks that pull the wings off flies.
It is important to remember that the '12" of penetration' in ballistic gel doesn't transfer to any real world medium. 12" is also used b/c FBI was looking at penetrating things like car doors and light barriers.Birdshot doesn't even come close to the 12" of penetration considered by law enforcement to be worthy.
