Nope,the springbok I hit through the back legs after missing it about 20 minutes earlier. The shot you see is the finisher.

The oryx I hit in the guts just in front of the hindquater,the next shot I called it in the shoulder,it went high above the spine. That's sweat on my shirt as we followed it for an hour at a fast walk. When dusk arrived,finally got some more shots into it. Overall I hit 4 times and the PH hit it twice when it was all over. Animals are tough when you muck up the first shot. smirk

Yes,going back for eland and sable in 2-3 years.

SLM,yes some do eat lion.After she was skinned she was put in a cooler. No meat is wasted from any animal killed.
