Grayghost, that was a very impressive series of posts and made me wish I had been with you. I shot my animals from the top of a 76yr. model Ford f100 pickup roof using a bipod. The only one that I shot offhand was my Kudu bull. It was hiding with two cows under a tree. One of the trackers saw them or we would have passed them by. They were off to my right, slightly in front of the truck when they spooked and ran. The bull ran to my right and away so that I had to lift my rifle to clear the bipod over the truck railings and fire offhand. I had no time to aim so it was a reaction shot using 3X power. I shot just in front of his shoulder and hit him dead center on the 3rd stripe. The shot of a lifetime. He ran maybe 25 yards. The bull was about 75 yards and moving fast when the 280rem. 162 gr. Hornady struck him. The PH was amazed as were my hunting buddies. There was a lot of whooping and hollering. He measured 52 inches. Continued...
