Marrakai,

Actually that was my 3rd shot!! There were two bulls and I shot first through the lower shoulder (can be seen, and it was a bit too high for the heart) and he ran.

I followed and it turned to face me, when I put a solid on the point of his shoulder into the vitals (his front went down but incredibly the bullet did not break bone). He ran 40 yards and collapsed.

Well, I then ran to where the other bull had disappeared (500 yards away into some thick bush) and started to track through VERY, VERY nasty stuff. Nothing to climb, no visibility, small thorn trees and palms mixed with burnt logs!!! Black logs everywhere!! A charge would mean 5 to 10 yards and maybe one shot... after 20 minutes of tracking some common sense took a hold of me and I chickened out of there and returned to find this fellow.

I could not find it right away and then suddenly he started to rise. It was just then that I shot him high on the shoulder. He went down for good.

We had a hell of a time to take the meat out as it started to rain hard...
