Savage: That is the way I do it....and I kill them that way.If you swing in the woods, you're gonna hit....trees!
Jeff I swing on moving game, too.Like this year when the buck I killed gave me about 4 bounds and 3-5 seconds to kill him at about 70 yards.I swung fast,through the body,and touched off when the vertical crosshair hit
the front of his shoulder;I spined him behind the shoulder.
So "yes" I am well familiar with swinging barrels,proper lead, and moving game.
BUT,in the woods,you had better hit an opening ahead of him,because if you don't you are relying on blind luck with a moving rifle in heavily wooded country....you will hit trees unless you are very lucky.
Obviously this must decided quickly and the chance is there and gone...It requires timing and reacting quickly,.but what I describe is called "spot shooting",and yes it works.I have killed bucks in the woods of the northeast doing it;and even recall killing a running mule deer out west as he angled away running at about 175 yards. Others. too, I recall.
