Well, I had a chance at another youngster at ~47 yards, but I couldn't get the gun stable against the tree fast enough this time. So, I waited for this one to show again and while I was waiting another full grown adult came around my privacy fence about 15 feet away, saw me and ran.
So, I decided to go back inside and set up at the "sniper window" and wait. The big one didn't show (yet), but the young one that I saw at ~47 yards did.
This one was facing me at ~35 yards on all fours with head slightly up. Shot went basically right between the eyes. DRT, no pass through. I am sure the shot entered the body cavity and may have gotten the heart. Ping pong ball for scale.

Still haven't smoked a cigar... (chuckle)
