Not exactly, there was poor shooting by both him and I. He had the 300 win mag, I had a .243 (because I was caribou hunting) and a 10mm pistol. He shot it once from 300 yards and then it started running away. We both laid down and started firing our rifles. He fired 4 more times, 2 missed. I hit it 3 times with my rifle. At that point it was down and we walked up to it. When we 10 yards away, it got up and came at us aggressively, it had a broken front leg, so it wasn't coming fast. It snapped off 3 shots with my 10mm. Two hit the head, but not brain, one missed and it kept coming, undeterred. My partner used his last rifle round to dispatch it.
I think I have him talked into buying a 375 H&H for this trip. I'm considered bringing a 12 gauge pump loaded with slugs.
