I really don't know Tom, he just came running at me with great bounding leaps & when I turned & finally put my eyes on him & got the rifle on him he was two leaping cat strides from being on me.
I really don't know what was going on, if he was just running by & happened to be coming right at me or if he was going to try to take me down & lost his nerve when I faced him ready.
I don't know but I really would have preferred camera distance with a zoom lense over rifle distance where I had a hard time making out what part of the animal I was on with the scope down on 3.5!
scope was useless that close. It was a sight down the barrel sort of thing & I'm ok with how it all ended, no do overs LOL!!
