Re: AFRICAN GAME SHOTS -SHOULDER,NECK OR HEART LUNG??

The comment about zebras reminds me of my most embarrassing moment in Africa. I took a moderately long shot at a zebra in a fairly large herd. He was facing left, as were most of the rest of the herd, and I aimed at the middle of his shoulder. At the shot, he and most of the herd took off to the left.

The only exception was one facing right and dragging his hind quarters. Closer inspection revealed that he had masked the shoulder of the one I was aiming at, and I had shot him squarely in the butt. I should have noticed the absence of the distinctive chevron on the shoulder, but I obviously didn't.

The right facing zebra was quickly dispatched and his left facing friend never knew what he had missed. I suppose there is no political lesson to be gained from this.
