Was hunting hogs. Spied hogs on the neighbor's place, mixed with cattle. I wanted the hogs to come across the fence and then be in a position that when I shot, no cattle were down range. So I set up the call and ducked back in a group of trees such that when I could see the hogs, I would have a safe direction for firing. Great plan. It didn't work, but it was a great plan.
What did happen is that a coyote came in to the hog sounds. I was scanning my shooting area when I spotted it maybe 80 yards away, but had trouble identifying it because of how it was standing. He apparently identified me just fine, however, and bolted. So the video picks up with him running away...
Nifty shot off of Jim Shockey Triggersticks. I paced the distance and used GPS. 263 paces and GPS said it was 255 yards.
No bullet analysis at all except to say that the wound was through and through and that I did not see any overt signs of significant expansion as being indicated by the exit wound. Between the severe manage and smell of the coyote, I really didn't want to touch it.
Never did get any of the hogs to cross over to my side of the fence.
