Re: Question for the Cape buffalo hunters re: PH b-u shots...

I've killed two, both by myself with my .470

The first one was on his way down after one shot, but I shot him again anyway, partially for insurance but mostly because for the cost of that rifle and all the ammo I had brought I wasn't about to quit after one shot.

As for the second one, I shot him eight times in less than five minutes. The first shot broke the shoulder, tumbled, took out the heart and lodged in the sternum. He was dead already at that point, but he didn't know it and neither did we. He was coming at us when I put the last one in the spine and knocked him down for good.

I don't know how I would have felt if the PH had shot, but I do know that I'm glad I did it alone.
