had chance at another dog yesterday. was almot finished watering and headed in. it was just before sunset. spotted a light color spot up on alittle hill that i hadnt noticed before. figured the low light was messing with my eyes and almost let other things get my attention like the peterbilt lugn way to much in 5th.
just as i look away i see it move in the corner of my eye. stab the clunch and the truck screaches and bounces to a stop. i jump out of the truck and lay the 2506 over the headlights. get good look at dog walkn away from me. guesn 400ish yds.
the pete as still movin rockn side to side so i look for better rest. finding nothing i lay in the grass and prop the ruger up by my elbos. ive dont this time or two but only when i had to.
i try to steady on the dog as its walking away. im not holdying very steady its alittle breeze and i let him walk over the hill and out of site. i figure that dog thought i was safe. it watches me water every day and keeps a safe distance from me. if id of shot hed stay farther away from the water truck. it didnt sit good with me to train another dog after the other night.
ive made that shot before but laying on bipods. right now the bipod is mounted on my 10/22 and you can bet its not gona stay there for long.
have a good saterday everyone.
