Today I was testing my newly constructed Bamboo tree blind and I was carrying the MAX-ML .45 loaded with the .454 Hornady Roundballs
Good thing I made this a 360 degrees blind because the winds today where horrific.
I heard and spotted this very nice meat saw come down a trail, the backside of the blind has limited shooting lanes, she was coming from my right, slowly and steady, sniffing the ground but never really stopping.
when she got level I was hoping at some point she would stop since the moving shot is not exactly my favorite option
However she didn't stop so I had to make the quick decision, I continued following her with the Crosshairs in the temple and when I felt good I pulled the trigger.
Immediately I thought, "why didn't you shoot at the neck ? "
I've been wanting to take the neck shot for sometimes but I instinctively I always go for the brain shot
Anyway all I had to do next was to go and pick her up
The .454 Roundball at 180 FPE sure is devastating
