Posted for amusement only - Plucked this off the net

I knew I recognized that one attack in the video, and I was able to find the original. Here's the full charge. There's a lot going on in this clip.


Having never been on safari, I can't dissect it in the way many of you can, but the whole thing seems really odd to me. It doesn't look as though there is a PH(?). And I don't know if I've ever seen a little yapping dog like that come along in any other videos I've watched (I particularly like the part where it's biting the guy's pants). Anyone care to share some insight? I only have videos and stories for frame of reference (and not the actual experience), but between the lack of PH, the yipper, the lefty using a right-handed bolt action, etc., it seems like a lot of things were done wrong on this hunt.

My favorite part is that the dude up on the hill filming panics and starts videoing the sky

Would have been a way more awesome video if he stayed on task.

Not uncommong for tracking dogs to join the search of a wounded buffalo.

And I agree....neither of those guys looks like a PH. The gun with the suppressor on doesn' look like a big bore to me but hard to tell from that distance. The whole thing looks like a Goat Rodeo to me
 
I just want to know how to survive my friend's female Jack Russel, Petunia. You can't get within ten feet of the door before that little beast will attempt to take your leg off.

Sounds like every chihuahua and min-pin I've ever met.

Same as a buffalo

Lie on the ground
Let her hit you

Ha ha.

As Bill Cosby once said years ago, "thats like if a guy throws a left hook at you, you lean into it!".
 
@ Terminator: please go ahead and hunt the next one! Even if there really is only a 50% chance
to survive a buff hunt - which I do not believe after 4 dead buffaloes- this is not how statistics work.
You cannot cumulate the probabilities. If there is a 50% chance on the first hunt, then the next hunt it is again a 50% chance, as statistics do not have a memory.
That is why some people continue to loose money at the roulette table - they wait until one colour- red or black-comes for example 5 times in a row, and then put their money on the opposite colour. They think the chance for black increases every time the other color shows, but the probability always remains the same. For even or odd numbers this works as well.

Yea, I am going live on the edge and hunt another one :)

Good Morning x84958
I have read your post about Jamy Traut and your hunt in Caprivi. I am planning such a hunt for 2026, Oct with Jamy.
Just a question , because I will combine Caprivi and Panorama for PG, is the daily rate the same the week long, I mean the one for Caprivi or when in Panorama it will be a PG rate ?
thank you and congrats for your story.
Best regards
Philippe from France

Hello Doug,
I am Philippe from France and plan to go hunting Caprivi in 2026, Oct.
I have read on AH you had some time in Vic Falls after hunting. May I ask you with whom you have planned / organized the Chobe NP tour and the different visits. (with my GF we will have 4 days and 3 nights there)
Thank in advance, I will appreciate your response.
Merci
Philippe
