Bryan Smith was "on the horns of a dilemna" that lesser mortals would not survive. Apparently he got a good laugh out of it too, after it was done. But even he was no match for a buffalo, or, sadly, the cape buffalo just got lucky. St. Finn will welcome him to the Happy Hunting Ground.  | |||

Sad to hear of his demise.  You never know when a slight mistake or inattention may cost you your life, especially with any wild animals.  | |||

I did not know of Bryan, but really enjoyed the story ALF. Thanks for telling it here. RIP Bryan, I'm sure you would have been a friend. "There are worse memorials to a life well-lived than a pair of elephant tusks." Robert Ruark | |||

Great story ALF. Too young, right? And clearly full of life. Still, I have to think that a man who would wrestle a waterbuck through the thorns for 200 yards is not a man who would ever expect, or even want, to die in bed! Godspeed. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

I wish peace to Bryan and his family. I suspect he was doing what pleased him the most. ALF, a very nice story. I'm sure he enjoyed it. | |||

Hope you all enjoyed the two pictures (especially the huge buffalo!) If I remember correctly, Bryan apprenticed in Zambia under PH Peter Hankin. | |||
