Living the Good Life- REVISED

I stole a four minute piece of video from Ann Horsman's 2005 safari that included a short sequence of the Buzzard and Barnyard (Buzz Charlton and Peter Barnard) following up another client's wounded lion.

It is not a nail-biter or anything like that but a bit of the life lived by a couple great PH's and it also funny as hell in a couple spots. The lucky bastards!

Send me $5 to cover the cost of the disk, case and postage and I'll make some copies.

I tried to post the video here but can't figure out how to do it.

Bill,

Upload it to YouTube, it is easy. I can phone you tomorrow if you like to take you into real DBG video hosting scenarios.

It is .vob format which the last time I looked wasn't hosted by Youtube.

But I can e-mail you the file if you can do it or you want to try.

Will

Okay, I uploaded the video to YouTube and it is "processing." If it gets done, I'll post the address.

Since I don't know what I am doing!, the clip I uploaded the first time was not the right file. I tried uploading another one but it is too large (364 Mb). There is a 100 Mb limit.

I will go back and try to cut it down and upload it again. I have not given up (yet).

It is a good clip and I hope we can share it with everyone. It is a bit of a nail biter and a good thing Pete had (Buzz) back up.

Cool Bill!

Buzz told me of a wounded buffalo that he shot off the end of his .416 end of last year I think, said it all slowed down and he remembered thinking "Hey this is not that difficult". Only got the tail end of it on video, but I am sure it will be in his book!

I would like to hunt with Buzz he seems a great guy!

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

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."

That was very interesting... Lucky that cat did not charge or Barnard would have been shooting his handgun..

I enjoyed the video and especially seeing the teamwork between Buzz and Barnard.

Do you know what rifles and calibers they chose for this follow up?

ALLEN W. JOHNSON - DRSS

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

Buzz has used a Ruger 416 Rigby for years and Peter something in 416 Rem. Peter may have been shooting some of the handloads I gave him!

Pete has a well-used FN Mauser rebarrelled to .416 Remington... this is the best picture I have of it. I actually used it to shoot the kudu in the picture and a buffalo! No, it's not stainless

just really broken in!

Buzz and Pete are great friends now but get them together to talk about their school days and you will laugh your ass off! They didn't much care for each other back then... schoolboy rivalrys I guess. Or maybe there weren't many girls around so competition was keen!

Great piece of film showing the guys together in a hairy situation Will and Ann!

On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Peter and Buzz are two fantastic PH's and a real treat to hunt with. Two very serious guys....very serious about hunting and very serious about having fun in the bush.

Hunting with these two guys is indeed a great combo, you will not be disappointed!

Heard from Peter recently and he will be at SCI in Reno, but not in Dallas or Houston. I'm not sure which both he'll be tending, but I'll pass that info along when available.

I don't know how I missed seeing this. Cool clip Bill. Funny to see Buzz and Peter give each other a hard time. Buzzard and Barnyard...that's funny.
