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
