First shot on the large Tahr hit him in the lower jaw I believe, as he had a bit of blood coming from the muzzle. Not the kind of thing worth dwelling on within the episode. Second shot did the job well.

The chamois actually started coughing up fountains of blood as it sat down by the large rock, again, not the kind of thing we really wanted to showcase, so must have been hit in the lungs/throat on the initial shot.

Thanks for that.

Good skills not to replay that stuff in detail, as we hunters try to exercise our ethics of taking the animals with the least amount of stress & injury. We dont need the gritty details.

The missed shot on the Thar Bull went just high. Not surprising at 500 Metres - that is 550 yards, and a long shot for even very experienced hunters. Ballistic calculations are never 100% failsafe at that distance, with all sorts of things coming into play on the shot.
