Good article.
But sometimes an animal just refuses to die. Often after it has been wounded first. Perhaps adrenalin is a factor behind the "iron-clad" African game reputation.
Agree--one of the toughest I have ever shot was a Roan..unbelievable..shot him at about 200 yards looking at me with my 375H&H using 270 gr Trophy Bonded Bear Claws....chest hit..he turned and ran..
we sprinted up the hill..there he was just standing there about 80 yards..head down..I shot him again as he was facing quartering away..he flinched and stayed..shot him again..he turned and started to trot off..shot again through the front shoulders..he dropped..but kept trying to get up..unbelievable.. my hunting partner shot one a couple days before and had the same experience, also shooting a 375H&H..
