[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1617448, member: 8873"] Me too, have a good video of how/why a spotter is most important. I have a video of my last bull while hunting solo. The bull was a little over 800 yards and after shot follow through in scope I see impact about 11:30 and to the left several minutes each way. It appeared to be a total miss, big time! After replaying my video (several times and zooming in) to see what happened, I see impact on the animal. The “miss” I spotted in my scope was the bullet ricocheting up hill and digging in after it had passed through the animal. This was a cross canyon shot that took several hours to get to the animal, and if I didn’t have the video I would have been convinced of a miss. Most guys wouldn’t have even went to look...very long and extremely hard hike. This is a screenshot of the impact, look above the rump. Scope is a Kowa Prominar on 20x and phone zoomed in enough to rid the edges of black. [/QUOTE]
