The "Beast" Finally Strikes!

[atchman2]

Sorry guys, it is taking some time to get it all put together.

I was shooting from up the hill so the point of impact is almost straight into the back of head.

Thanks Randy, I feel better now with more detailed pics.  I feel rewarded after all that typing and advice I gave, hehe

So I think see what looks like a hole between the ears on top.. cause you said "just above the eyes"..  I 'm just trying to keep you honest, hehehe, just kidding!  It did the job!  The 1st coon I got it was almost in the same spot, about 1/2" lower, when it had its head down..best time to squeeze  I like the 350 with the pellet holder wrapped around it.

CONGRATS! you finally got him! great job! and hit him right where he needed to be hit lol. i cant wait to see the video!

[atchman2]

Well I'm almost shooting down at a 30 degree angle. So when it bent over it was almost from behind!

[only1harry]

Was the bandit facing away from you Randy?

[atchman2]

No but he was head down.  You'll see on the video.

I started using the pellet holder after hunting in Kansas, It was just hard for me to fish around for a pellet for a quick second shot.  Also it keeps the gun ready to go at all times.  I thnk it holds 20 pellets which is plenty for a night hunt.  

When I look at this he is bigger than Chip the Wonder Dog! He isn't the biggest one I've ever seen, but I'll bet he is 12-15 pounds.  I left him outside until it was light and Chip kept going outside to bark at it!  

There is one that comes by that would make two of this one.  This one is about the size of the "twins" but he isn't one of them as they travel together all the time.

Neither.

But it's worth drilling down to find it.

I'll never forget that one Harry that guy was flip flop and flying all the way into the water. I then had to wade in and retrieve in the middle of the night hehe. Ed
