It is a matter of circumstances. The only time I have really been charged by a water buffalo I was armed with nothing but a fishing spear walking along the river. This fellow was rather worked up most likely over a woman and put on a display of thrashing bushes and trees. Then he saw us and galloped at us with a pace and agility that was both surprising and reason for respect. I was a bit quicker in those days and made a patch of thick trees in good time. I was glad of the head start.He lost interest and continued thrashing around and galloped off. I did shoot one at a local roadhouse that had treed several tourists. Turned out to be a young bull that had been shot near the horn base and the bullet was lodged in the horn. Would explain his disposition.It can happen and you need only see two bulls fight to realise what damage they could do. I have heard the cape buff is talked up alot, there are a few operators up this way I hear do the same with water buffalo. Usually nothing would happen but is that off chance something could that makes it interesting. Especially getting up as close as you can in the thick stuff.
