Lol yes, well I suspect the Buffalo was dead or dying when the other six shots hit him, but you would be surprise maybe on what it can take to stop one of the huge Coastal Bulls .
Some of my hunters biggest gunfights (very one sided) have been with 500NE & 460 Weatherbys both are great Buffalo killers but you need to shoot the Buff where he lives, not his face, off leg, guts or ass end (other than when he is leaving) .
I have hunted & guided on a fair few Cape Buffalo (in multiple countrys, even did many miles walking in the Mara, Kenya) & been changed once by a wounded Cape Buff cow & maybe close on a Bull but he got shot too fast.
Hunted hundreds of Water Buffalo (was a professional meat shooter plus over 20yrs guiding on them) been charged loads & many unwound or even looking at them at the time.
Now Bantang (very mean SOB's) on the 100 or so I guided or shot, was charged a lot by both sex's, that most likely was partly because of the thicker jungle we hunted in & end up being very close, same as some of the Water Buff when Bow or Spear hunting .
These are Cape Buffalo
Actually on the Domestic thing, I see loads of guys ridding Asian Elephants to, not so many of the African but we have heaps of Domestic African to some even used as snuffing Elephants or show Elephants .
Now I think back in the day hunting Asian Elephants was more dangerous than or at least equal to hunting African Elephant, I think Tiger hunting was most likely more dangerous than Lion also ?
