This guy was in the wrong place @ the wrong time ! The shot was @165 yds. & he went down w/o taking another step.
The rifle is a self-bilt Win. M85 “HiWall” ,A traditional varmint rifle chambered in .20 Tagger, A wildcat on the .357 maximum case. It drives the 32 grain Sierra Blitzking bullet @ 4150 fps . Rifle is scoped w/ a personal favorite,Zeiss 10x . There being no optic too good for old eyes !

Darn nice work there. Gun and game. I never heard of that wildcat round, but it certainly seems to be sufficient. Congrats. Smiley

That's a big dog. Not familiar with the round though. Actually never heard of it. Never the less it certainly looks like it does the job. Are you going to mount the dog?

He looks more like the CoyDogs I have running through my yard chasing the Turkeys that frequent my place. 
That .20 Tagger sounds like my 62 Marlin .256 Win mag necked down to a .20 tat looks like it does the job just as good....
