Most of them were either perfect broadside shots or frontal shots. I do use a bi-pod when calling and use it with several other guns as well and they all shoot just the same with it as they do without.
The way I read this, I assume you haven't shot your Savage at paper in a fairly controlled environment (target setting), with the bipod? If not I strongly suggest that to be your first order of business. If at all possible you should always practice with the exact same setup as you will be hunting with. If that doesn't change anything... idk coyote fever? Also what caliber and what do you have it zero'd at, fps and grain of bullet? Your zero could be in a spot that would make it sweet spotted in one spot but touchy in all others if that makes sense... IE dead on at 300 but way high under 250, dead on at 100 but way low past 150.
