You'd be a fucking hero up with the best, of course that's only until we found out about it, then you'd crash and burn. Funny I was talking to my old mate about guiding Americans shooting in the SI in the 60-70s. One of the other guides had a client that wanted a good head, he was a world renown bow hunter, even got an elephant with a bow! Well hi above Queenstown capping out a couple of heads while the client was dining out this other guide said to my old mate, this ugly 10 pointer taken with the bow was actually shot by him, under the bow hunters instructions. Posing for the photos the guide had to push an arrow into the bullet hole!. Old mate got sent a glossy mag from the States a few months later and low a behold a photo of the bow hunter posing with the ugly ten pointer and a write up on a very difficult and exciting hunt! Been going on for years!
