That was a close up look at a buffalo.

I can't beleive the client did not fire at that buff. I honestly thought he was going to be a pancake.

Please Lord don't let my PH tell my family that I didn't even fire my weapon when the buffalo flattened me. At least he didn't drop the rifle and start making noises like a stomped puppy.

Definately a hairy situation though.

I believe the hunter said he had the "safety half on", perhaps he could not get pushed forward timely.

Thing is on TAA they showed that moment. Perhaps a lot of shows would have not even considered showing that section for fear of embarrassment to client. So good for the hunter to show that section.

I did notice hunter was backed into tree/brush and that could have impended acquisition. All in all it was another great show showing multiple animals taken in one episode.

Some would have strung out the hunt over three weeks to stretch time and buffer production cost and insure a back log of footage. This would also string along the viewers.

This episode of TAA sure was a better all around production than the one proceeding .."Boring- Abroad Adventures" and Muzzy's pronghorn "chump in a box" that followed. (Thursday morning)

To the hunter's credit he did well on 2nd buffalo and elephant. Congrats to him .

Good show. tu2

4 Rules of Gun Safety
1/ Treat all guns as though they are loaded.
2/ Never point the muzzle at anything you do not want to shoot.
3/ Do not put your finger on trigger until your sights are on target and you are ready to shoot.
4/ Be sure of your target and safe background.

I watched that Muzzy show for the first time last week and I beleive the host was hunting pronghorn in CO. That was the worst huntiing show I have ever seen. The host is definately in the wrong business. Maybe something in Janitorial services or the fast food industry would be better for him. Half the HUNTING show was spent whining about people on his cell phone. Roll Eyes

But at least a pronghorn didn't charge his unable to fire client!

This hunt had to of taken place just shortly after my hunt this year. Len was also my PH. I know it was after mine because he was wearing the ammo belt I gave him, and the bush was real thick as well. Wonder what the odds are to take two charges from un-wounded buff that close together?
