(quote)
Over the past 20 years, a host of videos have been made, purporting to show Cape buffalo hunting.
One infamous series was made by an American who deliberately wounded younger, smaller bulls with a small-caliber rifle, waited a while,
then went in and provoked a charge. Camera angles and the wonders of editing resulted in some hair-raising footage,
if you didn't know what was really happening. If it ended there,it would be bad enough. Alas, it didn't.
Now, we get people coming back from Africa bragging about doing exactly the same thing and expounding on how the charge
"enriched the experience."
(end quote)

I am shocked to see such gossip in a mainstream publication instead of on the internet!
"One infamous series" of videos, made by an "American."
Who the heck could that American be?

Cal, he wrote a couple of books, "Dangerous Game Rifles" and "The Magic of Big Game". The books are okay.

He seems to know a lot about British rifles and shotguns and Mausers.

He dislikes Geoff Miller of California Rigby; sued him for libel I think. He does not care for Butch Searcy's rifles and makes that clear.

He tends to have a negative and cynical tone in his writings.

I bought Terry’s book DANGEROUS GAME RIFLES and read it cover to cover. I did a critic’s assessment of it here on AR some years ago. Unfortunately I made the mistake of pointing out his mistakes, and received a PM from another author, who seems to be a friend of Terry. The other author informed me that Terry was diligent in his research of the rifles mentioned in that book, and that I had done him a disservice with my book report. The other author gave me his personal e-mail address so I could check with him if I needed to know anything about big bore rifles.

That book is still on my book shelf and I’ve been trying to find enough time to read it again, with a high-lighter in hand to highlight the mistakes in that book so they are easier to find for quoting.

When I get them all located I will e-mail the other author to see if he can correct my opinion of them.
