I hope this fellow is ok. I am posting this because the video gives the uninitiated (me) a good sense of the size and speed of these guys. Pretty scary stuff.

That's gonna leave a bruise. Dang lucky that buff didn't stay on top of him. Looks like he shot over his boss into his back? Fortunate man right there.
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.
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.
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.
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.... Chad Faulkner Crossbow Hunter
