Out hunting. Trying to thin some coons out. Used to have 8 show up regular. Tonight had 4, mom and 3 little ones. Watched them in my thermal for 40 minutes. Feeder goes off second time at 9PM. It goes off. They scatter than come back. In wait 10 minutes. No other heat signatures. Line up for the shot squeeze the trigger, safety still on, and flinch so bad I thought I was having a seizure of some kind 
Flicked safety off lined up and bang momma drops the little one head for the same tree as before. I'm popping rounds after them.
Put safety on and walk to feeder. I hear one squealing. Shoulder rifle see it in my scope soon over it's head (100 yd zero, its inside 10 yds) squeeze trigger. It jumps squeals louder and goes guess behind a tree. I left it. Turned made sure the first one was down. She was. Turn back, and I see second one scampering off. Squeeze the trigger and flinch bad again It's still hobbling away from me. I trot to my right to cut it off and loose it in some dense underbrush. Walk around and see it again. Put croshairs flush with top of head, squeeze the trigger. It jumps and runs off [emoji35] I decided I'm done for the night and call it.
Been thinking of using a 50 yd zero....
