The place I hunted buff last at, had a couple guys bowhunting cape buffalo. One was shot well and was dropped and recovered. I don't know the details. The other was shot pretty well but still was followed up for two days and ended up crossing into the neighbouring property. The PH I think had he attitude that it was the clients hunt and also their responsibility, unless someone was endangered. So one did get away.

I still call these hunts a stunt, because the client if the buff ran towards the hunter rather than away, would be able to do absolutely nothing about it. The PH would have to save his ass. Even a .30-06 would be a better idea.

I think Mick or someone mentioned, would a bow hunter have a decent stopping rifle carried along as well, if needed. Do you do this?

Note I am not 'having a go', these comments are just a discussion. I have no problem with hunters choosing a bow if they wish. It is their money.

I haven't hunted buffalo with a bow, and really these two hunts are all I have heard lots of details about. Please share some of your experiences and photo for us all to enjoy.
