Mac, that was a good description of a charging lion and what happens. I thought the PH had a double barrel because in the slow motion portion of the tape there are two successive puffs of smoke from the rifles and they appeared to be from that one PH in the picture. Upon closer examination, one of the puffs of smoke was from Dr. Gulley's gun at close range. That one broke the lions jaw according to Brian. If you look real close you can see the bullet pass through the lion's chest about 3 or 4 inches behind the right shoulder from the PH's shot. You have to stop the film frame for frame. As the lion is passing Brian you can see the bloody spot on the chest increase in size. You have to see the slow motion several time to see the force of the tail hook of the lion, the bloody spot grow, and count the bullets fired. The other PH shot at least once also and the old lion got up and ran. I watch it over and over and nothing varies from what he told me. If it were a fish story I might be skeptical.
