Original text on this topic:
He is easy to kill with a small bore, with, of course, solid bullets; and the best place to hit him is low through the shoulder. A shot in the centre of his short neck is quite effectual, or if he is standing half turned away, low behind the car will brain him. As a rule he dies quickly; but when incorrectly hit he will take quite a number of bullets to finish him, which applies to all game of any species.
