Yikes! Hope he’s OK?
 
It looks like he shot just as the bull dropped his head. Good lesson.

It must have just bumped him. You can see how the bull starts to twist his head to hook the guy. That guy was very lucky not to have ended up on that right hook.

I think I'll start shooting earlier in the Buffalo's advance. :eek:
 
Well that didn't seem well planned at all. Did he think he was hunting a coyote or some other non dangerous game?! I am pretty sure he will think twice before doing that again.
 
Ya mess with tha bull, ya get the horns. ;)
 
That was actually the PH that took the hit. The hunt was on Wild TV a couple months ago not sure who the hunters were. They were hunting with a cross bow at the time, no explanation whether the bull was wounded or not. I will try and find more information on the hunt.
 
Having worked with cattle for most of my adult life, I have a healthy respect for bovine creatures. They move fast, are tough as hell, and when they set their mind to something, they are mighty hard to change their mind.

Antler Ice's Bone Cold TV, Avula Safaris. Sorry don't know how to post the video link.

Their acceleration is amazing....

I saw someone on here talk about how slow they are to get up one time. I just snickered to myself and thought "yeah, you just keep thinking that, and I hope it doesn't get you killed...."
 
Took me forever to find it on the web. (That is saying something.)

Go to around 15:20 minute mark....

On the ground with no holes. Thankfully.

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.

Dave, I could use both of them if still available. I just picked up a new .22 mag and a .22 pump that they would be perfect on.
