[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 5319040, member: 2805"] I've replayed it a thousand times in my head.. Has to be one of 2 things... he moved away behind the dogwood clump and was 50 to 60yds when I shot... but if that were the case, I should have found a few cut feathers (and I looked HARD for feathers and blood for 30 minutes) The second possibility was he was still walking when I shot as his head hit the opening, and he made it another inch and a half to completely protect his head and neck behind the second trunk of the dogwood by the time the payload got there. The more I replay it, I think it was the second. His body was protected by the base of the clump, and his head ended up being protected by the far right trunk. I've certainly misjudged distances by 10 yards, but I don't recall ever misjudging one by 20 or 30 yards (but IS possible, as I never had binocular vision of him once he got behind that darn clump). Possible I pulled the shot, but at 35y, I would have had to really pull it, and the shot felt good... dot was on his neck when I squeezed off. [/QUOTE]
