Re: Blacker than Black Death

NitroX,

In 1956, a gent named Harry Burroughs,and a friend were hunting in the forests of Madhya Pradesh,Central India, when he came across a Gaur Bull. His mate was in an adjoining area within the same shooting block.
Harry it appeared, took a chance with his 30 06 and went for a brain shot. The animal dropped, stunned, and Harry ran up to it. On being approached, the animal got up and charged. The 'Shikari' took off. He heard another shot go off, but still kept running in the opposite direction.
When they got to the scene, the Bull was sitting on the ground, very much alive. Harry had managed to put another shot into it's head.The animal was despatched with comparative ease. One of the bullets had grased the bottom of the brain.
Harry's mangled remains were recovered from under the great beast. The animal had gored Harry, literally mashed him up, and had then used it's chest to mangle him into the earth. Harry was taken home in a pillow case, the only recognizable item recovered, was his signet ring.
This is a factual account of what happened..... I know the other hunter very well.
