You're doing good Ben Ji, lone wolf hunting can be some of the most productive.
Hand to the Flying Spaghetti Monster, I was hunting in NE Kansas once (when they still had roosters, WTH happened, but I digress). A coyote ran ahead of me on a fence line and flushed a rooster who flew back into me.
Head on a winter rooster has lots of armor, I shot him, and I swear I just stunned him, had to run him down.
