I quickly got into position and drew my bow.

I immediately grabbed another arrow as quick as humanly possible and sent it on its way. Despite the fact the lioness was moving around in the tree, I believed the arrow would find its mark. However, as she restlessly moved in the tree, I released, sending the arrow along the side of her ever so slightly cutting her open at the shoulder......I could instantly see the bright red blood spill out.
A very agitated lion after the shot.

This time, the arrow did perfectly find its mark. She was quartering away and the arrow entered behind the ribs continuing forward through her vitals. She let out the loudest roars you could possibly imagine while trying to maintain position in the tree.
As she jostled about, trying to locate the source of her sensation, I witnessed her life beginning to fade. The expiration of an animal is obviously the planned culmination of any hunt, but honestly speaking.....while on one hand grasping the enjoyment of the experience in such a hunt, I also encountered a slight degree of sadness observing such a respectful and magnificent animal's life coming to an end.
