About John Buhmiller dropping beasts at his feet...
John carried a permanant bruise on the inside of one of his calfs in the shape of a buffalo foot. On one of his hunts, he was shooting one of his own experimental single shot actions when the weapon jammed up after a shot - He was walking backward trying to clear the weapon and reload as the beast was charging and his "backups" were shooting - John tripped over a root, and sprawled backward onto the turf as the beast over-ran him and fell dead some 10 feet past him, after leaving its imprint on his leg.
