the first cliffs + shot it after
a few shots but it was not
badly wounded tho it went
in right on a rock. After several
shots I finally killed it with
the next to my last shell til
rolled down hill & died. When
they brought it in I found
that four funny shots had
passed thru into night ear
as it faced me. It was an old
81. A men up the river has
found no game or meat they
allow the country looks like
the usual cliffs.
7 Travelling down the valley
I met a goral on the first
cleft + shot it thru the lungs
the second shot. It fell along
a short way to ledge. When
the men went for it, it
flushed another goral which
ran away before I could
get into action. Further
down the valley at the
high cliffs we ran 3 other
gorals in a herd but only
got one shot at them + ruined
my marks. Works better
