Is there an echo in here? I already explained this. It was dead with the first shot. It was a bullet test. We don't fire a shot and let them go bleed out. We press them and put as many bullets as we can into them before the critter loses blood pressure for a more complete test. More shots = more data. In no way does that mean it "took 13 shots" to kill it.

The .500 coup de gras was unnecessary as I stood over it watching a thumb sized stream of blood gushing from its chest. Maybe if you had been there, you'd have a more accurate perception of what actually happened but folks with an agenda hear what they want to hear.

And I told in the hunt report how many shots I took. It's not a secret.

Don't pollute this productive thread with personal nonsense.
