Brent, your daughter is very talented. It came out very well. Good shot placement on that nutter too.
BTW, I was watching another young adult g-hog (a little below average sized) today at ~35ds out, which is a little out of my Diana 36 range (for g-hogs anyway), when all of a sudden he just turned and walked straigt towards the house closing the gap to 25yds munching on some new grass and clovers behind my shed, thus giving me an extra couple of ft-lbs more incentive :)
I watched him a little more debating whether I should attempt opening the window and let him have it (sometimes they run when I open the window depending how slow or fast I do it or make noise, so it's not always a sure thing). After ~5min. I decided to give him another chance and take him when he gets a little bigger :-) That took a lot of self-control, believe me!! :-)
No sooner had I decided the fate of this g-hog, he just walks back to the trees and down his burrow. He 's a smart one. He only comes out and feeds for about 10-15min. and goes back down. Most others will stay and feed mercilessly non-stop for 30-40min. as long as they think noone is around and are not in any danger. This little fella 3-4 times now I observed him in the last ~10 days and it was the same routine. 10-12min. and he 'd be gone. First time I looked around to see if something scared him, but now I know his strategy which is "the less you stay up there, the longer you live.." :-)
