SaeedI lost count how many bullets that buffalo had in him!
And by the sounds of it, a typical South African farm buffalo being hunted by rank amateurs
Glad he did not suffer any serious damage!

L. David KeithTwo clients and neither were of any help. They should be banned from hunting dangerous game. Fear can kill you...or others.

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......
"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

AXEL19What a cluster. So the ph ends up underneath the buff, client freezes, client won't give up gun, son ends up underneath the client, son gets camera back and videos dad getting killed instead of helping, client places some worthless shots into buffs guts, son places one good jab with a knife and one sissy jab while dad still getting crushed.
If I were the ph I might need a break from all of them. Clients would probably spend the rest of their trip in a hotel even if I had to pay for it.

"South Africa" and "buffalo" should never be mentioned in the same sentence.
The clients involved are clueless, and the PHs conducting the hunts are not much better.

SaeedGot the following message from one of our members!
"Saeed, you missed the point. The buffalo was given a choice of how he wished to die. He chose a knife!"

Matt NormanSince I wasn't there, I'm not going to be so quick to judge those that were. Yes, I have been in tight spots including but not limited to being shot at in anger and a fairly good elephant charge turned at 15 yards. Anybody know any of these players or hunted with them?
