First Hunt with the Side-Shot Installed

[AirgunBill]

Took out my Wildcat .25 and went to visit a farm in my old hunting grounds since moving to another town. I saw the farmer and he told me about a building by a tenants house loaded with groundhogs. He was concerned because he had recently planted the adjoining field with soybeans. I had my Side-Shot for GoPro on where I had replaced the lens and did some focus adjustment. Not sure if I can get better clarity as it was pretty cloudy and it was set at 2.7k and 60fps. Shot four pigeons earlier in the day while it was sunny and that footage looks much better. Any way I shot this sow groundhog at 58 yards and not sure if this was the one that the farmer said had young ones. I will be going back soon as this storage shed looks to have a lot of groundhog activity. Bill

Thanks for sharing. I believe this will be a “near-future” investment for sure!!

Nice work, man. Thanks for the video.

Good lord that’s a big one. I have a side shot and it’s critical that the lens be perfectly focused which is somewhat tedious to accomplish. I’m not sure what settings are the best but it looks like you are getting about what I am achieving. The quality of the scope seems important too.

Excellent shot Bill. 

They really tore up that place. I sat on two woodchucks for three hours yesterday. Normally it does't take that long.

Looking forward to more from you!

Thanks guys. Plan to go back today if not too tired. Played some sand court volleyball for a few hours in the heat and humidity. At 65 years old I don't recover like I used to but it appears today should be a good day weather wise. Definitely more and I hope better video to come. Bill
