Aside from the ethics, or the apparent lack thereof, Lupo was charged 5 out of 6 times that he used his 45/70. All fairness to Mr. Lupo, the hippo and leopard appeared to have begun charging before he took his first shot, I guess.

What does this make of the 45/70 and Lupo's story? I'm not sure what to make of it. Most PH's don't experience that many charges yet Lupo gets a charge from each one? Or, did the 45/70 not provide enough shock or whatever it is to kill the animal outright or flip its brain from fight to flight? One thing Lupo leaves out and I find it curious, but nowhere does he state that the PH fired a single shot. On dangerous game that was charging or in heading to a deep ravine, yet his PH never fired a shot?

If we cast ethics aside, what makes you think the truth about the PH firing or all these charges or the efficiency of the kill was truthful? Seems to me truth and ethics go hand and hand.

Funny thing about the bear in the picture, the kid killed the bear with a 45/70 but the father who is advertising for Garrett was backing him up with something else. If he was that certain (indeed putting rifle in the hands of his son in front of dangerous game) why wasn't he also toting a 45/70?

My post was nothing about the 45/70 until you called me out. Everytime someone posts about Lupo taking the big 6, they never tell the tale of the shots or the animal's reaction. I finally decided to post that using Lupo's own words. My post was about everyone that owns a 45/70 claiming Lupo is some kind of new Elmer Keith led me to post about his ethics. He wanted to hunt the big 6 with a 45/70 so he could get his name in the Guiness book of records? That is the silliest thing I've ever read.
