Skunked

[DoubleUp]

I also posted the video un the Optics thread about the Goyojo 635 thermal scope I am testing. This was my first opportunity to take a coyote with the scope, and unfortunately I muffed the 60 yd. shot somehow. I know it wasn't the scope because I was so frustrated at missing that I took it all out on a skunk at 150 yds., so it wasn't the scopes fault. Man, I do hate missing the give me's.

Sure looked like it should have folded to me Owen.

Yup - looks like you got it and it ran. Not criticizing your scope but why do they put all that junk in the scope? Next it will be GPS! Waste of horsepower (battery and processing).

Hate missing those gimme's.......looks like a haircut on the chest to me.

I thought you hit it high in the back.

popper43, I haven't checked yet to see if I can turn off some of the clutter. Next video will reveal what I can figure out how to remove. I think I just nicked him under the chest from the way he reacted and he never stopped running for over 1,200 yds. that I could see him.

Looked low to me, grazed the chest, and maybe a leg. What range do you have the scope zeroed at?
In almost every case you will be low at close range, but it shouldn't be more than an inch or two.

near zero is 60 yds.- call was 42 yds. so he should have been about 60 yds.
