This bull came charging through the thick bush, but Professional Hunter Craig Middleton of Kilombero North Safaris in Tanzania stood his ground with just enough time for one shot. He made the perfect shot, saving his own life. The boys ran like their butts were on fire!

Well done. The trackers clearing out also gives the PH room to work. Love how he setup quickly to face the charge. Real pro move.
 
very impressive on many points.

The guys got clear so he didn’t trip on them going backwards.

He got some distance to see clearly then took a calm accurate shot. Perfect shot placement.

He racked his bolt instantly while keeping his eye on the bull.

very impressive
 
For sure...I loved his comment...let's go get another one! Legit.

Excellent shooting.

And I hope that I won't have to eat my words.... but.....

No 375 makes a buff go googly eyes like that, big bores for the big boys!

You are correct, a .375 is not a stopping rifle, but a 300 gr A-Frame in that spot would have been equally instantly fatal.

The real question is what was the client using that caused him to screw up his one job - the first shot?

Just moving to DM. Yes, please ask your friend if he knows somebody who might be willing to support a persistent hunt in the snow.

Hi Paul,
This is Daniel from Mankazana Safaris.

I saw your post regarding a hunt in Africa. I am sure you have been bombarded with messages and replies from other outfitters, so I will keep this one quick.
I have a feeling we have exactly what you need for a first safari.
If you'd like to hear more, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Yours sincerely,
