Remember the wounded waterbuff? Picture

Remember the water buff story I made a couple of weeks ago? I've made a VERY bad first shot and screw it but later we were able to kill it. I've feel really bad for some time but now I'm ok and ready to take my revange

One more thing, I don't know if I'm bothering someone posting waterbuffs pict here but I feel they naturaly belong to this forum. Just tell me if any problem and I will start posting them in "Rest of the World.." between deers and pigs

I'm the third one starting from the buff head.

I, for one, like to see the pictures. I hardly visit any of the other forums. Thanks for posting it here.

A lot of us have an addiction to shooting bovines, so it is a bit of a fix.

Thanks.

As for the bad shot, we all make them. If you hunt long enough, it will happen. You should be concerned if you did not feel bad about the shot. It is out of respect for the animal that you feel the regret of a kill not done quickly and clean.

Absolutely correct on both counts. If it does anything resembling a "moo" my mouth waters. And three bad shots over the last thirty years are still burned on my memory and make me blush. The truly rotten thing is that they can still happen no matter how much I practice and how careful I think I'm going to be.
