"That's Quite A Shot."

Okay, I just thought this was fun. All the planets and stars aligned for me to make a follow-up on a runner that could not have been more perfect. You can hear my exclamation of disbelief after the shot. The video is a tad long, so you can FF to the shot at about 3:04 in the video to the intro to it. Basically, it was windy, the hog was farther out than I would like for the conditions and while I could close the distance by 30 yards and come to a cross fence (with no gate anywhere close), I would lose my advantage of elevation. I made a reasonable first shot but the hog didn't drop. Later, I could see the shot went through the vitals as intended, but since it didn't hit the CNS, the hog ran. The amusing part is that the followup shot was everything the first shot wasn't.

Wow, that was quite a follow up !

Haha love that second shot

Awesome shot on that hog!

I LOLed on the second shot bang - flip. I've shot so many hogs on the run I can miss them when standing still! Nice lead you had on him! It's amazing how slow bullets are when things are cruising 20-25mph! As a young man I was amazed the leads I needed for running hogs and coyotes. Hogs about 1/2 to full length lead, and coyote is about 1.5 length lead within 300yds. Those things are cruising 35-40mph.

I should have shot this guy again, but I was for sure he'd expire before the tree line. Oops. (35 Remington 200gr RN 90-100hit)

What model optic were you using for this? Seems like it works well!

I still amazed at leads and I shoot a lot of running hogs.
