“If you wound the lion and he gets into cover it is even money that you will be mauled when you go in after him. A lion can still cover one hundred yards so fast toward you that there is barely time for two aimed shots before he is on you. After he has the first bullet, there is no nervous shock to further wounds, and you have to kill him stone dead or he will keep coming.”
- Ernest Hemingway, “Shootism versus Sport: The Second Tanganyika Letter,” Esquire, June 1934
