Bipod, uphill shooting issue.

Has anyone considered he might have just cocked up the shot or shots?
This may be hard to believe, but even I've missed a few easy shots.

pretty common if you can't get the bipod tall enough, for the butstock to sit far to low on the shoulder. will cause a mis high on target.

Just ask the animal to take a step closer next time. Ha ha ha bacilli’s S for more useful tips.

I'll go along with the cock up theory. Years ago in the land of usenet newreaders a post was made about charts. The replies started off serious but then improved to something about four elephants holding up the world. I miss newsgroups. A few of these replies take me back. Yes I'll ask the deer to move closer next time.

do you zero and true rifle of bipod or bags?

Secondly, you will get a different point of impact shooting over a bag, and using a bipod. Experiment with both over the same range on flat ground.
