I also had a wounded buff once that was hiding and the PH was way to hell and gone, looking on his own. The trackers and I, along with an apprentice PH, were on the track. Or at least I had more confidence in the trackers finding the buff than the PH.
As in 99.9% of the cases of a wounded buff, it didn't charge when we finally found it hiding behind a tiny little tree (amazing how small a buff can make itself), and got itself mowed down with my .470 while it was running off.
I felt it was a little strange to leave this city boy "alone" in this situation, but sometimes you have to accept the danger part of dangerous game hunting.
