A day hunting in Hawaii ( day 2 )

Today I was hunting the same property but the landscape is totally different, also I was hunting with my WARP .22
Plan was to still hunt to my circular blind than sit there for the day,
This is what the blind looks like and the views from it
Once I got there I put some cat food out 30 yards downwind for mongoose and some corn 30 yards out upwind for hogs
A few minutes in the blind I spotted a mongoose 60 yards away in the upwind direction so I exited the blind and put on a stalk, it was really fun, lost the mongoose for a bit But I knew she was in the area so I posted behind a rock and waited, than all of a sudden she was there about 15 yards away, got the crosshairs on the top of the head and pulled the trigger,...CLICK !!!!!!! ...What ? dang I either didn't push the probe all the way in ( I do that occasionally while target shooting )
Of I moved the bold out of position during the stalk
Recock the gun, take the magazine out, make sure to push the probe all the way, find the moving mongoose, get repositioned, take aim, get ready to shoot,....DANG !!!!! the shot went of prematurely, I wasn't completely set, hate to light triggers in hunting situations when in a hot hunting situation ( I have to make sure to adjust it before I take a shot at a Hog ) bottom line I body shot the mongoose and it went down a hole ,....DANG !!!
Back at the blind, a mongoose comes to the cat food and I don't miss this time.
I saw 2 hogs fast walking as I was in the blind, not a chance to even try a stalk.
Ho well, we'll try again
