Good shooting, bad shooting, and mysterious shooting and a cool lesson learned

Yesterday was a long day, had the youngest kiddo in a high school competition on the wrong end of the state lol, a five hour drive home but the hunting conditions have been so bad the last few weeks, and yesterday was about perfect, so I went out with a buddy who was nice enough to wait until 8 when I got back. We had a few places to try we hadn't hit up in a couple months.

We really didn't get into them until 11 or so, and that one was skirting us far and wide. We had to make a move on it, and even then it hung out at 600 yards. As a last ditch effort, I got out the hand calls. I was thinking I'd call for a few minutes, then go silent but move a couple hundred yards downwind and wait. This strategy worked very well, at least until the shot. Bummer.



The next stand, we finally had a couple that worked in, from opposite directions. The first came in silently.



The other had sounded off in the distance from the opposite direction, answering a few howls of ours. This shot didn't go as planned, although the hold looks good it clipped the right front leg as far as I can tell. Then we both missed it again, though I thought my hold looked good there also. Not sure what happened at this point.




I always thought these up close pics were cool so had to add it. It had cooled off for an hour already though so not as bright looking and I should have backed off a couple more steps.

First video your cursor moved off the coyote, low front, at shot.
Second video looked low again.
Third video looked on.
It’s almost like when you’re touching the trigger the aim point is dropping.
That’s just me early morning out of bed blowing the videos up and trying to see exactly where the cursor is at the shot.
May give a different view after I wake up good, lol!
At least your on the coyotes and getting action.
 
Nice job. Those up close pics look so much better through the scope/scanner than they do by time they get posted. The few I've posted just don't do it justice based on what it looked like when it was taken.
 
I use recoil vid on the TX60 and see a difference in aim point from real time. Appears to an inch low @ 50. No bobble in vid at trigger pull or recoil, real time or vid. Don't see that with the AGMs.
