Looks rather painful. Glad it wan't worse. Got a story behind that? Bruce

 

[Ridgewalker]

Ouch! Hope he's doing OK! Surviving such a horrifying ordeal shows a lot about a man though. Tough guy. Lots of very experienced and very tough PHs didn't make it according to "White Hunter".
Best for your friend.

This injury is absolutely terrible. Wounded buffalo is sure a vindictive animal and it shows us amateurs of just how careful we must be.
All the best to the wounded professional hunter.

Damn that man is lucky to be alive for sure!

 

[Brent in Az]

Wicked wound for sure. Hope he heals up. Luckily it didn't end up worse.

Man.... that's nasty.... something out of Running with the Bulls in Pamplona. I'd like to do both Run with the bulls in Italy & hunt Cape in Africa..... but sure as hell, don't want to ever end up like that!!!!

Don't do it @BWH. If you run with the bulls you best take your rifle for protection! Those things injure people every year. Would rather read your hunt report on Cape buffalo than another injury report like this one.

Glad it was no worse!! Every day we stay vertical and alive is a blessing! Heal quickly!

My bad.... I meant Spain....

Gotta say I didn't need to see this considering I'm heading for my first cape Buffalo Hunt in 90 days. I was nervous enough. Back to shooting and studying all the info I can on shot placement. I hope the hunter recovers completely.

 

[buckmarkhunter]

Ouch, hope the hunter makes a speedy recovery. Goes to show how dangerous they can be.

While we are at it...
I remember this photo form a while back and dug it out.
Think it was the PH that was gored by a Buffalo in TZ..

Depends how you look at it; lucky to be alive, or unlucky to be gored.
They can be nasty..

 

[Gavin Rorke]

Hope He heals soon ,Yes shot placement is of great importance. Whilst things can go wrong."The first shot counts"

 

[BWH]

Ugh.....Damn..... I was hoping to hunt Buffalo next. Maybe I should just stick to hunting PG.

 

[Gavin Rorke]

A free range tracking Buffalo hunt is really awesome though.

 

[spike.t]

Ugh.....Damn..... I was hoping to hunt Buffalo next. Maybe I should just stick to hunting PG.

why as gavin says its great? it happens but for the amount of buff hunted its a small percentage where it goes wrong....are you going to stop driving or crossing the road......?

A free range tracking Buffalo hunt is really awesome though.

We are just lucky that buffalo don't study Perfect Shot diagrams of us.
