When you're firing into a herd, you're gonna hit something.
More hyperbole, She was 12 yards away from the elephant when she shot it. She was “in the middle of” a herd (i.e. surrounded by), NOT “firing into a herd”. Get your facts straight.
“When you’re firing into a herd, you’re gonna hit something.”
Clearly, you have never hunted anything other than a mosquito or perhaps a roach.
The first thing a hunter learns is that shooting into a group produces:
1. Holes in the air.
2. Lots of sound (muzzle blass).
3. Lots of fury (missed ‘em all! #&*)G&%$!).
Try flock shooting birds with a shotgun - “and the birds flew on”.
ANd, don’t forget what happens to a hapless hunter who pokes a sleeping elephant with a sharp stick.
Think “moist sticky spot on the ground”. Corection, “red, moist sticky spot on the ground”.
