Johan,

I wasn't criticising the author, just noting that it was interesting that there was no mention of this...... I did in fact, contact the mag and they were quite keen on the idea of having someone write about the subject.......... I'd never heard of the mag before, but will try to get my hands on a copy.

As to why it happens so often.....hmmmm, my guess is that in the heat of the moment, the hunter simply forgets that one should make allowance for this. - This thread has already proved that the up/down hill factor just doesn't occur to some people. - It's almost certainly made worse by the (very understandable) fact that most hunters don't very often hunt such large animals - and the larger the animal, the larger the error. Make the mistake on an impala and you'll probably still hit it somewhere lethal, do it with a Buffalo and the bullet just passes through the withers or similar non letal area.........

Whatever the reason, I had 4 seperate hunters this year make this error........ and it makes for some very interesting follow ups........
