    There are shot placement diagrams on the internet. Shooting it on the leg is a bad idea.

    Have a look at the first picture (the second picture is wrong) showing the vitals: https://www.africahunting.com/thread...g-ostrich.231/

    Say what ... do you guys not have some sort of rain protection / smock / poncho / umbrella / those old plastic army raincoats
    Being uncomfortable makes you feel bad -- which makes the day bad ...

    Got all that, but back at the shack 12 km and many gates away. It was a coldish windy day - but the rain was a surprise.
