Good to see. Shows how a decent choice of cartrisge/calibre still does not kill them instantly.

A fellow SA hunter was posting elsewhere about his plans to use a bow, or a muzzle loader. Either a 12 bore ML double rifle/shotun (not sure which) or a .50 ML shooting only 360 gr ball. The 12 bore shoots 480 gr hardened balls.

I recommend he use the 12 bore. And have a mate or guide armed with a decent rifle backing him up.

Another poster claims to guide saying he had shot a great many buffalo and thinks them like cows. Anyone who has hunted them a bit knows where they have been hard hunted they can be very wild and flee very quickly. And where they have been mostly unmolested, can be far less wild.

The trouble with these inadequate choices, bow or light rifle or ML, is shown clearly in that video. The buffalo was hit in the heart in the first shot (iMO) and yet ran, and took two more shots. IF the buffalo decided to have a go at the hunter instead, a light or inadequate choice of weapon becomes a problem quickly.

Thanks for posting Claydog, happy to host more. Just uoload to the dropbox and PM me the description.
