So just before total darkness tonight I am riding around the peanut field looking for fresh rooting and I come around a corner and see the last of two piglets I’ve been whittling down about 150 yards away from me.
They were totally oblivious to me since I had my headlights off, so I got my shooting bag out and put it over the hood of my truck to make sure I could make a good shot.
Of course I failed to press the video record button but I will tell you exactly what happened here.
I heard the first shot hit, and heard the pig squealing so I immediately went after the second one which were running off and never did connect to it. A few seconds later I scan back to the first. To check its status and it standing up so I shot again, and missed it and it started running off. About five shots later I got lucky and finally dropped it.
When I got down the hill to the piglet I could see the first shot hit it in the back foot.
So about an hour after dark a coyote pops out of the tree line about 90 yards away and I missed that one.
I don’t think it was the same coyote but about 30 or 45 minutes later another one comes out ahead of me so I took off my foot to close the gap and got lucky and managed to record video so you can see what I’m talking about.
Looks to me like a missing to the left. Only thing I can think of is that I did not have my brass catcher on my rifle. And I do not know if the brass catcher could possibly change the harmonics of the weapon and throw a shot I’ve never tested that before.
I’ve never had any trouble with my pulsar scope and I do have the newest firmware installed which is supposed to deal with temperature point of impact issues.
