SGraves155Thanks, nainital, for the video link. I didn't realize the Kaiser was the source of all the one-armed German officer characters in the movies! Also didn't realize the canned hunts with hundreds of stags in a row for the Chiefs of State that they had back then. Big-Shots must miss out on a lot of real-life adventure (except for Teddy Roosevelt)!

nainitalSteve: yes, the Kaiser Wilhelm had an useless left arm and I understand that in Germany they still call "a regal shot" one in the neck, because he often used a Mauser carbine. Due to the tiny bullet he preferred the neck shot.
I wonder if the King of England´s hunt in Nepal in 1911 was likewise

billinthewildIf that is the case, then Guillermo's shot on the buffalo was a regal one. 400 grain, 500 Magnum, in the neck.

I wish the left here were as useless as the Kaiser's left arm.
