I wish I had the reference still.

I remember reading some intrepid colonial hunter hunting seladang/gaur in SE Asia. Malaya perhaps?

It was a harrowing tale. He shot the bull more than once. Several times I think. In the jungle it proceeded to toss him up and about. Time and again. His trackers observing from high in trees.

One explanation was his using an inadequate rifle. Was smaller than a 10-bore. A 12 or 14 ?

I've forgotten too much. There is no doubt I have written about it at least twice before. Maybe even found the story or a similar story.

That story resonated with me about using so ething inadequate especially in thick jungle or bush.
