The prearranged agreement between the 3 of us was that after the first shot on a buff anyone with a shot was free to take it while the buff was still on his feet. Everyone who reads this is free to do things as they like, but given the difficult grass conditions we faced, I believe this was a prudent decision. There was no charge or drama on my buff, he was simply shot out in the middle of a sand river as he quartered towards us. I think MS simply had his rifle up, and because the buff was still in his sights after my first shot sounded he presses the trigger. I for one have no problem with that - especially considering our prehunt agreement. I certainly do not feel that MS firing one round lessened my experience if that's what you are getting at, and it took 5 more shots to knock this guy down.
