When Everything Else Fails....

SaeedWhen Everything Else Fails....
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Walter had a trying time in his endeavor to shoot a buffalo. So he decided he cannot go home without a photo with a buffalo. He picked this rock, and cut a kongoni's tail to stick on it. Pretending that it is the rear end of a buffalo.
Only Walter would think of something like this.
As he sat down next to his trophy, and placed the kongoni tail as you can see, I innocently asked "where is the ass hole?"
"The one holding the rifle!" came the answer from our PH Roy Vincent!
The above sums up pretty much of our time in the bush.

There is nothing as permanent as a good temporary repair.

JudgeGSaeed, my friend:
I got a particulary good laugh from the picture, since I snuck up on a big buffalo just lying in the long grass, only to discover it was a black rock... and then, the next morning, an unnamed hunter (while tracking a wounded buffalo) shot the same rock twice with his Merkel .470. I think it was the same species as the one Walter is so proud of.
The evening of the "mighty rock killing", I spit soup all over the table when Richard Lemmer allowed that, "Those big rocks often need an insurance shot, even with a heavy double rifle! You don't want to be tracking a wounded five-ton boulder in the tall grass."
Jim Sherman... any comments? Not that you double-tapped the rock or anything like that!
Actually, it had a nice deep drop and hard bosses, come to think about it.
JudgeG ... just counting time 'til I am again finding balm in Gilead chilled out somewhere in the Selous.

Frank MartinezWell, I suppose some guys have to take a trophy of some sort.
Walter has to receive the award for creative trophy creation.

308SakoWhat position was the rock in when it recieved the fatal shot?
With what caliber? After the obviously difficult recovery, what did the rock score?
Is that the only piece of tail that Walter enjoyed on this Safari?

RBHuntHow about a AR sponsored "Walter only buffalo hunt and video"? I would donate to that!
To make it really interesting, we could get Mark Sulivan as the PH!

prof242A side thought, Walter may say, "No, it wasn't charging. I took its credit card away!"
