Hunters Become Hunted During A Cape Buffalo Hunt

I apologize for my ignorance but is that common practice to hunt buffalo from a vehicle when using a bow?

This is ridiculous - even pathetic. 2000 acre high fence breeding area. The young bull was probably expecting to have grain dropped from the truck. All were clearly habituated to vehicles and people. About as sporting as killing uncle Bob's old angus in the back forty from the back of the F-150. Gives us all a black eye.

I don't know about this. I'm planning a very rough (in the bush) Buffalo hunt in Mozambique with a .375 H&H Magnum...is this the way it's done?

I can't believe someone show that let alone film it in the first place. I couldn't even finish watching. "In the interest of sport" he said. lol

Hello,

I'm with jduckhunter on this one.

I could not watch the whole thing either.

The young buffalo did not appear to have hard enough bosses to successfully compete for the right to breed yet.

In other words, the person with the wheelie-arrow-machine, stuck a pre-pubescent lad.

In human terms, he bagged about a 7th grade little boy.

Also, I agree with Red Leg in that this young bullock was obviously begging for food, not charging at all.

That video was quite PATHETIC.

Disgusted,
Velo Dog.

That is not a hunter . . . or a professional hunter.

Embarassing.

 

[bassasdaindia]

I agree with the posts above. That is not hunting !

Complete bullshit. A truly embarrassing display for any real sportsman or hunter to witness . . . . yet those clowns actually seem proud.

steve dont worry your hunt in moz will bear not the slightest resemblance to this load of shit...............if they had gone in on foot then fine , but sitting on the back of the vehicle talking the verbal garbage they produced and then trying to shoot the buff with a totally inadequate bow/arrow (illequipped arrow is said in the video, then why use the bloody thing?) set up is fu--ing ridiculous. having just spent a few days on one of the top game breeding ranches in SA and having seen how they do things, i dont understand why they didnt call in the vet to dart them if they escaped into another enclosure........total bullshit!!!

For those who didn't watch until the end, be happy you didn't. Those jokers actually seem proud of the great "hunt" they had.

Appalling..

These "hunts" are not doing any good to our sport !

Really disgusting.

I found this so-called “hunt” video to be so unsportsmanlike that I sent a critical email to the safari company and the PH who I believe oversaw and allowed the pathetic sequence of events (my email also contained an advanced mea culpa in the event I was wrong about the identities of those involved).

The proud and smiling discussion of their ‘conquest’ at the end of the video between the so-called PH and poor excuse for a hunter was truly asinine. I suppose it should therefore come as no surprise that one or both of those jackasses posted the pathetic video on the Internet for all to see. Very bright of them.

As a sport hunter for more than fifty years I feel things like this are what give hunters a black eye. And when we find something to be unsportsmanlike and pathetic you can only imagine what non-hunters and anti's have to say about it.

It's stuff like this that gives hunting a bad reputation!

 

[fairgame]

This sort of crap should be deleted.

Nope wouldn't do it. I wouldn't fly all that way to do that. If you needed to get them off the property, shoot them and be done with it. Why would you film that?

 

[siml]

After watching the video, I had to wash a few chill pills down with a stiff whiskey before I was close to commenting, you bunch of @#$@!#.....&*%$#@ you a disgrace to hunting! The winner of the dumbass Oscar goes to all involved.

NO!

That is "the story".
The marauding lion from Botswana, the rogue Rhino, escaped.....etc., etc.

Why would you film that?

Ignorance.
