Groundhog Jugular

This groundhog was on the move! He was traveling from left to right in pretty tall grass, while he was eating the tasty tops of grass. At this distance with the Hybrid Slugs, I needed to go for a headshot, as I'd be dropping this guy in like to bottom of a rainbow. I made a spot on wind call, and tried to drop it straight in the ocular, but I think my laser rangefinder metered the tall grass just in front of the whistle pig, so the shot landed an inch low from the eyeball, and it wrecked it's jugular and put it down for the count.

Shot with the FC Maverick VP .30cal shooting FX Hybrids at 940fps. The ATN X-Sight 5 5-25 LRF did the ballistic and recording duties, and I exercised the features of the newest firmware to record at 240 fps, which I then slowed down to 480 fps in post for some pretty nice slow motion.

Always love slow motion. Great shot and video thanks for sharing
