Unprovoked Cape Buffalo Charge

Yes we do, it is quite clear from the muzzle blast first shot is from the left second shot is from the right. Unless they swapped around behind the cameraman, the PH stopped and killed the buffalo from the right hand side....

Thanks for that clarification. From my laptop, I couldn't tell. Not enough fidelity in the audio I guess for that to come through.

It's a moot point, but I wonder had the hunter fired another shot if he'd have stopped him. As it is, he was apparently backstopped by the PH, so we'll never know. Moreover, HE'LL never know.
 
My main point is the shooting started way too late for whatever reason and it could have turned ugly real fast. No need to have waited so long before the first shot, in which case there would probably not have been a charge situation to start with and it would have been much safer...

I commend the camera man he did an excellent job.....

Hi Jay,

Hope you're well.

I'm headed your way in January.

Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.

Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.

I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.

Have a good one.

Mark
