I dont understand why everyone needs " stopping rifles " and "double rifles" when hunting these gentle giants! May as well of been hunting cows on a farm!!!

He was looking for his 7-UP bottle filled with milk I think...or maybe a carrot. I liked when he kicked the truck.

See the problem is that you guys missed the caption. That was a water buffalo and not a cape buffalo!!!

I've seen that on more than one film by game park visiters with cameras!

Plumbers, and tile layers have made comment when intering my home, "WHERE DID YOU SHOOT THAT BIG WATER BUFFALO?"

He's a cute little fella! I'd have patted him on the nose!

It looks like a cape buff he must have been hand reared.

i wonder if there were bite marks on the lady's seat she looked a bit worried. those buffs can turn on you and nine out of ten they get there man because nobody expect it to attack.

ive seen dagga boys getting use to humans and they lose that little bit of fear they have for us. one farm there was one that enjoyed staying by the camp and thought it was funny to case everybody into their cars or bungalos. the owner eventualy shot him. we have a saying in afrikaans "die mak hond byt die seerste" the tame dog gives you the worst bite. its not only buff but and wild animal that looses his fear for humans is dangerous. there is tame duikers that horned people and warthogs that attacked people so never trust a tame wild animal.

Hey 375 Fanatic,

I see you're in Sabie...... Just down the road from me, I live in White River.

Looks like a Cape Buffalo to me and I've seen a few million of them in my life...

Remember he is just some old cows calf raised on milk..

Don't tell that to the large number of folks I know that have been wounded severely or killed by his brethern! and it happens every year. Two sides to every coin and I have seen both sides of the Cape Buffalo, the other one ain't so purty and anyone that says they arn't dangerous, and I have seen this posted on AR and other forums, is just one dumb, igmo SOB...

I may not be too bright but if I was as close to that buffalo as the driver was I would have had to touch him if only so briefly just to say I had done it.

That Cape Buff must have been hand reared.

He is also used to getting food from the vehicle.

He will kill someone one day.
