No luck with with Nitro trail .22

So yesterday I was out varmint hunting on home owners property. (My wife is a house keeper, we live on property) I was directly above (8′) a woodchuck, that was eating lure bait from a HAH trap. It was not going all the way into the trap, because the trapper guy put the bait mostly towards the front of trap :suprisedn: I noticed that later. also the trapper puts black garbage bags around traps in case of skunk capture. So any ways I line up a shot as close to the the head, as i can see and between mesh spaces. I hit it, and thought it was convulsing after the shot but it was trying to turn around and get out of the trap. That’s when i saw the shot had only crippled its back legs as it was only able to drag itself by its front legs into the juniper bushes next to the trap. I was to late in reloading to get another shot off, thinking I had already made a kill shot. I looked for it for a good half hour but the growth of junipers was just to much to get trough. Going to get another Talon .25 and do the job proper for the next one.
