Marlin M1894, Speer 270gr JFN (not HP) ammo.
Shots 3 & 4 were to his underside (no shield) after #2 knocked him down again and he was scrambling to again regain his feet. All these shots were from 45 yards. The last shot, #5 was made at 10' as he again tried to regain his feet. This shot was further forward on neck and ultimately killed him.
***Very simple explanation! You don't shoot them high like that behind the ear. You shoot them and inch or two BELOW the ear on about the level that their eye is. You shocked and knocked him down with that first shot, but it was too high and not where it would kill him, thus leading to all the other shots after you pissed him off with that first one, LOL!
