Sorry about the miss.

I was in a brush blind at a waterhole in Namibia and a troop of Baboons came in. I wasn't going to shoot one but after they blew multiple stalking efforts I had a grudge with them. Shot three times and blew a hole in the blind, after two shots I had cleared a shooting hole and I hit the big male on the run at 200 yards, dang lucky shot. First two were deflected, these were 175 grain Barns X bullets which should be good brush whackers, but that's a myth. I'm just glad I didn't do that with a 60"+ Kudu. I also had a shot deflected by either the fore end contacting a rock or from dust in the barrel or both. Hit a big Cape Hartbeast in the "back" shoulder. A sort of Texas broadside shot. 2nd shot anchored him on the spot.
