Spearing a Cape Buffalo.
Tim Wells has speared a world record free range cape buffalo in Mozambique. At 4 yards he closes in then slams the spear into the bull. See the action with a spear cam.

A spear with cross-tree than lop his head off with a sword works well on black bears - but a cape buffalo - no f--ing way.
Mike sums it up perfectly.

Just kidding, sounds exciting, though, doesn't it - the black bear, that is, not the buff.

Just imagine the damage that spear tip was doing inside the rib cage!
