Suppose you where lion hunting with your buddie, he sees a lion first and he hits the MGM type lion hard in the chest with his 375.The lion immediately attacks him, jumps, and you shoot the lion in the center mass like a quail in the air with your 500 NE and your buddie flat misses his followup shot.The lion misses his leap and goes down mortally wounded, runs off and is found dead shortly thereafter.

After the animal is dead he is autopsied and hunters agree BOTH heart-lung region shots would have been fatal.They had agreed to no "rules" before the hunt

Question-
Whose lion is this on this $40,000/hunter lion hunt? Both hunters want the lion.The first shot would have been eventiually fatal but the second shot also mortally wounded the animal had more effect and turned him.Is it who draws first fatal blood or he who closes the deal??

What is the hunting ?(sp)etiquette here??
