As I stepped outside I noticed this adult chipper scampering through a small hole in my side privacy fence near my wood pile. I quickly set up outside and waited for it to return. About 15 minutes later, it did... for the last time.
Chipper was quartering to me with right side exposed. Shot was ~15 yards, entered front of right shoulder and exited behind left shoulder. DRT, no movement after shot.
Almost forgot, the shot was through 2 layers of chain link fencing.
.177 Benjamin Fortitude Gen2 using CPUM 10.5 @ ~750fps for ~12+fpe.
Scope is Aim Sports 4.5-27x50 set at about 20x power because of lighting conditions. Usually on max/27 power even at close range.
First through 3rd pics show entry. Fourth pic shows exit. Ping pong ball for scale.
Cigar will come later tonight when the temps are a little lower.
Decided not to wait. Enjoying a CAO Flathead 660. One of my favorites.
