This guy made me late to work this morning. I've been seeing him around, but usually just when he was leaving. This time, he was just settling in. I went to the water cooler to fill up my water bottle before heading out to work, and I looked over my shoulder and saw this nice fat male chowing down on cracked corn.
I got the camera mounted up, unlocked and loaded the Summit, eased the sliding door open and sent the lead. He executed a nice flip, followed by a corkscrew for us before sprinting up the tree. Then, he couldn't decide whether to go back down or continue on the branch. He decided in the end to go back down, but passed out and fell down behind the tree instead. We can see him take his last few breaths
The shot was a smidge low, so I only got one lung, hence the longer time to lay down. The 14.3 gr. CPHPs don't seem to be expanding, even at 870 fps. I'm going to try RWS Super H-Point, like my buddy Disco Dave. They look like they'll mushroom nicely. The Summit doesn't like heavier pellets, so the Baracuda Hunters I usually like in a magnum class rifle are a no-go. (Crow Mags in .22 weigh the same as Baracuda Hunters, which is odd...)
