Besides the poor African tracker is usually in the front, so it's apparently best to have the muzzle pointed at him.
Thats' funny! a lot of truth to that.
It must be custom to do it. I'm in Africa therefore I carry the rifle on my shoulder. It looks cool for pics anyways.
Notice how when an animal is down and it's time to pose for pics they squat 3 feet behind the animal and have the muzzle pointing at hunters head?
