Personnally, I do respect Mr Thompson for first publishing this video that is in no way an advertising for his company.
Even more, he dared to approach the buff very close at official halitosis distance. Then shit happened but that didn't remove any credit to his attempt. I feel it bad taste to point his heavy weight, after all he is able to come close and to punch his spear..
My goal was to show you how a guy can turn the tables and shoot with an incredibly great skill when he was almost history.
As we say in France "one can dance only with the girls that are present". He did this attempt with a young buffalo, so be it, when spear hunting (as with bow hunting) you can only deal with the animals that you can approach.
I respect Mr. Thompson.
I don't know his outfitter, but for sure it also was a challenge for him.


Lynn did not post the video to Youtube - his spear hunting partners did. You are quite right - Lynn was trying to spear the buffalo that was in front of him. It is very difficult to get a spear into any of them.. when you have to be so close.

You were the one who took him out, Mr Graham? (weird typing that, my dads name is Graham so seeing it as a surname is strange to me). Well done on guiding outside of what i regard as standard! What's he (Mr Thomson), personality wise? Is he like Larry Potterfield, of Midway USA (very polite happy sounding fellow).




Yes I am the outfitter. I was not present with Lynn at that time, I was guiding his other spear-hunting friends elsewhere on the concession. But of course we did dissect this episode in detail at camp. I have guiding him myself at different times with the handgun and rifle.

We did 14 days with the spears on this hunt (me with the other guys).

Lynn is a very, very generous guy and a good friend of mine. He's a Super A personality though... takes a bit of wrangling!!

Quote:

That was a stunt for the Camera.


Not in this case, Lynn actually wants to use his own products successfully - but he does know his limitations. He isnt a young man.

Quote:

He still throws like a girl - in my most humble opinion, of course.


With those spears you do not have to throw them hard, just accurately (which he did in this case). The weight of the spear does the work on the target.

Quote:



And I didn't think handguns were legal for hunting, or is that just QLD?




Only in the Northern Territory - under very strict conditions.
Quote:

The bloke in Africa that spears the fair dinkum Cape buff is a far better video.




Same group of people. This time it was Tim Wells. No doubt they learned a lot from their AU trip to get that spear in the Cape buff. The terrain and the animals are very much the same. I was guiding Tim Wells in Australia.
