Thread: GETTING THE ANGLE RIGHT

One night a few years ago now on a block I used to do pest control on, I shot a 60-70lb sow with the .243 about 80 yards about 30-35 degrees up, she took off, I never found her.....
Three months later I saw a pig below the foresty road this time about 300 yards from the first time I shot her, I flattened her through the shoulder this time.
I went down the hill & brought her up only to discover the damage to her off side shoulder, I hit her high on the shoulder the first time & because of the steep angle it just "nicked" her.
So I got the back half, she was in very good condition, no one else hunted the block it was under lock & key.
