One of the first buff's I shot--- put 6 shots into him total..first shot was a good hit--he ran a bit and stopped-put another into his lung area..two more solids up his rear as he ran away..one after he fell...he tried to get back up as we approached so one more to finish him off..-.

Ripp - I haven't seen the video, but my guess is that they wanted to try and avoid the scenario you present. Its a pity, because what you describe is completely normal - I am not criticising in any way. I guess they felt that it might not look so great on a tv show? Its a quirk of nature that some buffalo fall over and some don't even with perfect shot placement. Unfortunately you can't adequately explain to an anti-hunter on a tv show that a buffalo that has no heart and a couple of .40+ size hole through its lungs is technically dead but hasn't yet realised it !
