Karl,

I agree ir started a long way back but I reckon the buggered forleg slowed him down a fair bit.

Interesting what you say about the charge. For some strange reason, I can never remember the charge itself. I always remember spotting the animal and identifing the charge and I always remember the moments after the shot and the animal is down.......... but the bit in between, including the shot itself, is always a complete blank........ Christ knows why, but that's the way it is with me.
