Happened upon this unlucky gal just after dinner. We had a huge spinoff rainstorm all day from the hurricane, and it let up around 6pm. I was rinsing off my dishes and seen her coming back to the tree for the evening. Luckily I had prepared for that and had the Kral 25 mini tac ready to go.
I slowly popped the side door of the garage open and by this time she was only 10 yards out. I quickly dialed my magnification back and let one fly, aiming for the lungs. She didn't hunch or flinch, just ran up the tree.
Dammit! I missed! So I grabbed my red torch and started looking in the tree to find her. She was hiding on the backside of a branch and laying down so I couldn't get a shot. It quickly got dark so I called it.
I went out this morning to refill the bait station that got knocked over AGAIN by the raccoons, and happened to see her laying in the grass. I guess I hit her after all.
Looks like I hit just a little low and she laid there and bled out. The wind must have knocked her out over night. I'm honestly surprised the coons didn't clean her up too.
