Ahem, well, yes, it's my Krieghoff .458 Winchester Magnum Teck box lock over and under. Actually, I used my wildcat .505 SRE on these three and only carried the .458 to do some "let's make sure he's really dead" shots. I was trying to peddle Krieghoff DR's at the time, and thought the photos might look good in advertising material. They must not have, since I had a hard time selling them at $2500 a throw.

The .505 did its job. Three buff with four shots. Only the one I was sitting on actually required a second shot, and he was sick enogh I think he would have gone down, too, if we'd left him alone. Better safe than sorry.

With everything except buffalo the tracker used to walk up and poke the animal in question in the eye with the shooting sticks to see if there was any reflex. If not, they could start skinning.

With a buffalo, they walked up behind him carefully and twisted his tail, presumably so that if he came back to life he would be pointed in a safe direction. Wise move.
