As Doctari says, the loudest sound in Africa is a “click” when you were expecting a “bang!” Thankfully, for all involved, the buffalo obliged and that’s as far as it went.

 

[John J]

Yes sir my thought as well. That could have turned bad fast.

It’s the type of moment the Cape buffalo is famous for blending into a nightmare.

A lefty shooting a right handed rifle at DG. Looks wore maybe a camp rifle so possibly unfamiliar to the hunter? I wish I could say, I haven't seen people not prepared to hunt much less shoot. It wasn't dangerous game but it wasn't pretty and quite a lesson for my young son to watch. Teachable moment for the boy on what not to do. I saved one of the PH shooting tests from another thread. I'm going to use both my rifles and practice the reloads ect. Whatever I come out on top with will be my primary. That's the plan atleast, be prepared as I can.

I talked with this outfitter at the Houston Safari Club expo. They had some good deals for Tanz.

Yeah yikes

 

[CAustin]

That was exciting!

 

[BRICKBURN]

Sh*t happens, but what do you figure is going through a guys mind that he skips reloading his rifle?

Over excited,

Hot headed and a thinks he knows it all type, typical TV show hunter. Can't shoot for sh*t either! Not the first time he empties a rifle without reloading.

 

[petrusg]

That could have gone really bad after the dreaded click sound, that buffalo had ample time to run right over him! Why did he not have more rounds in the magazine? did he really need to load one out of his belt?

 

[Opposite Pole]

I'm no expert but that's a funny way of hunting dangerous game, or any game for that matter.

When I see something like this, hat on backwards, no round in the chamber, shooting offhand with nice trees close by to rest on, one word comes to mind, unprepared. He's another guy I wouldn't want hunting with me.

 

[Shootist43]

IvW, I think your assessment is spot on. This is the kind of hunter I suspect most PHs would want to "walk away" from. All "yack" and no "shack."

 

[Foxi]

for me its a video :
How not to do.
And he forgot to reload.
Classical beginner mistake.
It also throws a bad light on the PH, that he didn't say anything and let him rush forward.
The big luck of the big-boiled hunter was, that the buffalo was not one of the fighters.

almost too bad he didn't do it.

............, that buffalo had ample time to run right over him! ...........

That buffalo had enough time to go home pack a lunch and come back after his lunch break.
