Apparent Bad Shot Turns Out Good & Vice Versa

Interesting contrast between shots on hogs during successive nights. I made a longer distance shot (230 yards) on a hog where the shot was low and did not go through the body as intended, but worked out great...


On the next night, I made a shot at a shorter distance (155 yards) that I thought was good, but did not have the intended result...

RE-instated?!?! How long has the cookie baker has been slacking off? Looks like the baker hasn't lost his touch at making a killer toll house cookie though.

That's a shame to be passing on taking a calf/fawn killer. Good killin', none the less.

The cookie thing was getting out of hand when I was killing 2 or 3 nights a week, LOL. We had to do a supply run and cookies were on the shelf, so, new apocalypse rules! :D

I will talk to the landowner in the future about coyotes and what not. His is a new property for me and we don't have much of a relationship, yet.

Glad you got him after he shook it off and ran some more.

Kinda hard to believe he got up and ran. Good job of staying on him and getting that second shot.

I'm not in the camp of killing every coyote I see, even if I have permission.

Where I usually hunt, there are far too many deer. A few nights ago, I spotted, called and walked a pair of coyotes.

Also, I see a lot of rabbits around, I tend to give the dogs a pass.



Second video is remarkable footage…

Also explains why we can pop a hog 150 yards out on the cornfield, see him drop "dead" and then keep rolling on patrol.

Come back later and find he has teleported.




When wondering whether I should give that extra quality assurance shot on a theoretically dead hog, I ask myself, "Is there anything else I'd rather spend a dollar on right now?"
