SaeedRe: A Couple Of Buffalo Hunting Video Clips
No Ann they are not.
I am doing those right now. Or at least I am trying to, as I have a little monster here who keeps stamping on the keyboard!
Now I know why girls are such a menace, they are born that way
She just woke up from her afternoon nap, and I asked her if she wanted to go to her play room or go down to the shooting room.
She just ran off to the shooting room door, stood there and was asking DOWN? DOWN?

RHSGreat shooting by you and your cameraman! Did the first buff expire on the spot? Looked like it should have...
But, the Ray/Walter fiasco...hope the cowboy was more successful on the second try! After all, the crocs get hungry too...

Aspen Hill AdventuresThank You, Saeed! I enjoyed them very much.
Were any of these buffalo the same ones Ray was stalking?

PalmerExcellent. We will look forward to more.

SaeedRHS,
No sir it did not. It was hit in the face, the bullet angling backwards and breaking the spine.
I shot twice more to kill it quickly.
The cameraman was Alan Vincent, my friend Roy's son. He is a PH himself, so he does a great job of filming in the field.

Frans DiepstratenThanks Saeed!
Nothing like taking a break every five minutes and look at one of the downloaded clips! Though I really shouldn't torture myself like that...before you know it I've taken the mortgage money and put a down payment on a trip...
My wife and I played about a dozen of the T-Rex clips last night and we were besides our chairs with laughter. Who is the one that always laughs the loudest, with looong hauls in the background? Is that you or Walter? ;-)
How's that T-REx rifle holding up with all the falls on that concrete floor??

SaeedOur floor is covered by a carpet. Still, The front site had to be repaired several times, and the stock cracked at the pistol grip.
All these have been fixed, ready for the next victim

SaeedGentlemen,
With all the bunny huggers I meet regularly here when they come to my house, I have become immune to their comments.
In fact, I enjoy telling them some of the basic things of life. That sending thier wives to the supermarket to get meat is actually worse.
Imagine, the poor cow was bred on a farm, with about 10,000 others, force fed steroids to make it put on weight quicker, and just at the prime of its life, they line them up behind each other, and whack them in the head with a steel bolt.
The best part, most of them says "I don't want to hear this!"
They are happy to let others do the dirty work, and they pretend to forget it.
Compare these to the wild buffalo we shoot in Africa.
My little daughter is already getting hooked on shooting. She is going to be 2 next week, and I loaded a few 222 cases with just primers, so she can hear them go bang.
She sits on my lap and pulls the trigger each time I load her a primed case. As soon as I eject the empty, she says MORE?
Walter is worried she will start beating him at shooting. And by the looks of things after his last hunt in Africa, she should not have any problem doing that
The bench rest shooters in Africa always did well with their first shot. After that it started to get worse.
I think two missed the target completely, including the Masai who cut himself on the scope. He was Ray's tracker. The first shot cut his face, so on all the following shots he had his head about a foot back from the scope
The little guy who was standing on the tool box won the shoot. I think his score was 25 or 27, including one in the 10 ring. He was one of our trackers. The second one tracker we had was the tall Masai wearing red.
He is about 7 foot tall, and was putting the shooting sticks so high for me all I could shoot was the moon!
