Sorry again Folks about the over size pics. Gotta tell Ya Folks,, Possums are REALLY hard to kill!! No matter the fact I was using only 14 Ft.Lbs.,, I have used 130 Ft. Lbs. rimfires with the same results. Shot placement is critical!! I decided yesterday to change my strategy,, I was going for the eye to "disorent" him for for quick follow up shots. Lo & behold,, if you look close you will see the first shot was just behind the eye,,well,, it still worked,, he was walking in big circles. I franticly reloaded & fired again, (Moving target) "THUMP"!! Reload again,, "Thump"!! Circles changed from clockwise to counter clockwise,,became increasingly smaller circles,,He finally fell over. Finally!! The first shot was from a rest,, all the following ones were free hand under preasure,,(the wife says 5 more moving shots were taken??) Now Folks, it may only be a Possum,,This hones ones Deer Hunting skills no matter what you say!! Still makes the adrenalin run!! I Finally got him!! Tim.
