Re: Another Cape Buffalo charge

Having just posted more distracting FB discussion ...

I think Buzz's PH and client do OK.

I.m guessing it's acwounded buffalo follow up.

The PH fires his double at close range misses the brain and spine. Fires another shot at the rear end of the buffalo. No idea if either hit or not. Reloads well on the run. Doesn't shoot the buffalo coming at him when the clients behind it. Shoots it at very close quarters.

The client shoots his bolt reloading at the shoulder. The "miss" might be a pass through? Runs off out of the way. Then gets out of the way , I think someone yelled at him. To run to the side.

The buffalo was flagging at the end. Some of those shots connected.

The cameraman kept filming. In the midst of it. Kept the camera on target, on the action, didn't panic, drop the camera from the action, shake etc. Even when the client backs up into him. I've got footage of a scrub bull charge. The clients wife filming it shook and shaked, dropped the camera down when the scrub bull came running down. Missed opportunity. One needs a camera person with steely nerves .. Well done to Buzz's guy.

On another Buzz hunt, our member Larcher's cousin Luc, kept filming right up to an elephant clobbering him at the run. Buzz's cameraman got that on film as well That video has not been made public I believe, Most dramatic ele charge video I've seen. Luc survived, broken shoulder, ribs, not bad from being pushed under an elephant's forehead twenty feet ... Tough French guy went hunting again a few days later, messed himself up everytime he shot his rifle.

Buzz does not do boe hunt elephant any more I believe.
