He is a better man than me. I would never show people a video of me being caught with an empty gun like that.

Was he hunting with a single shot rifle?

Flicked back through it. He fired some shots earlier then reloaded. I think he may have reloaded, pushed the rounds down, closed the bolt on an empty chamber and put the safety on. Just as well the bull was so obliging.

Had seen this before, doesn't get any better the second time!!I can only hope that he comes back as a buffalo and has the misfortune of having an incompetent "hunter" as himself shoot him. Not the sort of person that I would recommend to promote our sport

Looks like a prime breeding-age bull, with high full curls and little soft grey triangles at the front edges of his bosses.

I think the gun was empty. If it was a misfire or if he had rounds in the magazine he would only have had to cycle the bolt and then shoot.

I also like the all the green and the camo in contrast to the red and the yellow of the tracker's caps.

I can't imagine how this could be advertizing?

4 shots at a bull, always under 80m?
One shot in the heart or hitting both lungs and the bull is toast in the minute? The first bullet was over the heart and aorta and a tad under the spine.
The bull is no dugga bull, especially because his horns are very sharp. And no old bull is living in a group of 7 or more?

More appalling is a guy not checking that a cartridge is chambered when after a wounded game???

After each of the game I shot with my double rifle I quickly reloaded the spent round so I have TWO follow-up shots. Thankfully, that paid off because for the Wildebeest my second shot was a miss but I had an instant third shot.

I knew it was going to go terribly wrong when I saw he was wearing his hat backwards ....

I often have my hat backwards and I am no moron????

When shooting with a bow, You have to, or the string will push down the cap-peak past your eyes and blinding You. A moron won't.

I'm surprised he didn't edit that bit out......

Wouldn't be much to show if I was to edit it.
On the other hand, some of their other shows are very good.
