Pretty wild stand with 5 hard chargers but didn't get many killed!

This video was long enough the scope split it up unfortunately. My partner dropped the first one which I wasn't filming, then we screwed up the 1,2,3 double, and I ended up clipping one at 290. He was bleeding pretty good but we never saw him drop sadly. Things happened way too fast on this one and it was cold and breezy! But it was a riot! The one we recovered was a hot female so it's game on now!
I should warn you I used some expletives in this one. I gotta remind myself this new scope records audio!

Speaking of audio, I went out Monday night with 2 of my buddies. I was running the call and scanning, one was on his rifle and one was on mine. My scope was recording the seven seconds before and after the shots. I called in 2 on the first stand, both under 50y, both guys missed multiple shots, about 5 minutes apart. They shot 15 rounds between them at those 2 coyotes and never scratched them. The audio is rated R at least. I was not happy. We made 2 dry stands, and I handed the scanner to my buddy and took my rifle. On the last stand, I spotted one coming in from about 400y out, but it somehow took a full 15 minutes to come in. One of my buddies spotted it first, trotting to the call, 100y out, we had the wind. I had just found it in my scope, knew it would come in to 50' to the call, and was ready to put it in the truck. No sooner than I saw it, BAM! He wiffs a shot at it chest on trotting into the call. The audio on that one would make Andrew dice Clay blush. I was furious. That was the 4th coyote in a row these two had missed. I really tried to be decent, but my disgust was leaking through. I can laugh about it now, kinda, but I'm still pissed to be honest.
 
Yeah I'll remember it for sure. You know, at the time I wasn't that upset but later on I was pretty bummed we didn't have 4 on the ground! I do have something of an excuse on the longer shots which has been fixed I think. My Nocpix had a flaw in that the bdc was not correct at all zoom magnifications. I figured this out while shooting a while back. There was a firmware update which seems to have corrected it. At least in my limited testing a few nights ago.

Russ, that was a STAND to remember. They sure came hard but didn't want to stand to be shot. The 'expletives' thing is why I don't run audio ;)

I hear ya! I've had that happen before like that. This time it was all me!
 
This is the MOST fun time of year as far as I'm concerned.
Looks like you were about a half second from a trigger pull several times on that last one.
When they come in bunches like that, it seems to me like they're harder to get stopped. I had 3 fly-bys on one stand last night.
