A lot of guys pretend they have never shot an animal from a vehicle. A while back someone posted a thread on another forum where for once people were more honest.

I prefer strongly to hunt and stalk and 95% of the time this has been the case but I believe I have shot an impala and a warthog from a vehicle. The warthog was at the insistence of the PH on my first safari and it really was the only decent warthog we had seen. It was on the run and off. The impala was just a casual thing and it didn't really bother me one way or another. We were on the way back to camp having just taken a different animal.

I think the LOT of animals are shot well within a couple hundred metres of a vehicle. On the other hand we probably walked 7 kms in total to take a zebra, five kilometres for an eland, close to 25 to 32 kms n total for a wildbeest (wounded - distance per the PH), only a 150 metres for a kudu, duiker and another impala maybe 50 metres etc etc. The long walks and the short ones balance out a little.
