In Botswana in 1995, we ran across a sick buffalo that came out of nowhere and rammed the safari truck. It was very aggressive. We took out after it and tracked it into the Mopane bush where my PH and I put one shot each from my .416 and his .470 into its neck, resulting in a very dead buffalo. Upon examination we found what was left of a wire snare on his right hind leg. he had lost a lot of weight and could only run on three legs. If we had of been a photo safari truck full of cameras and the eyes behind them, it might have been a different story.

Remember - treat all buffalo as loaded!!
