Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Your most disappointing "miss"

I 20 years old and hunting with an uncle near Rock Springs, TX. I was toting my M70 270 Win with 130 gr PP. Around noon my uncle saw a rock squirrel on a ledge about 100-125 yds away. He said lets see what that 270 will do. At the shot the squirrel jumped and I hit it's tail which broke about 1/2 way to the tip. I can still picture that poor squirrel running away with a broken tail.
