Hoping he gets well soon and is comfortable during his recovery
Prayers for a speedy recovery. He is one of the good guys.I understand it was around Beitbridge in Zim. Buff is dead and Norman is in hospital in Harare...stable but gored in the chest and leg. I have photos but wouldn't post without permission. Prayers for a fast recovery.
Would make a much bigger difference if the client has done his only job with the first shot. Any bull that goes a kilometer after the first shot was not hit well.That sure looks scary, god bless him and wish him a full recovery...
With a hunt coming up shortly the pic raises some questions. If this is a distraction let me know and I will delete, but want this to be a learning experience.
- Would it make a difference if Norman had a double in adequate calibre? Get two quick shots in probably?
- Last pic with the dead bull looks like it is a very dry area with sparse vegetation, its not thick green brush where visibility is poor, how could a animal this size be missed?
- You can see a bullet wound right above the nose and another one in the rumen area, both missing vital organs(brain) for a stop charge at such a distance.
100%. As for the PH and their choices, I don't second guess them. We weren't there.Would make a much bigger difference if the client has done his only job with the first shot. Any bull that goes a kilometer after the first shot was not hit well.
Thats understood, given follow up shots were required. However because they were required would it have made a difference if the PH was armed with a double? Secondly from the pictures it does not look like heavy bush area with lot of vegetation making such a large animal ominousWould make a much bigger difference if the client has done his only job with the first shot.

We have all shot bad shots and we all will in all probability shoot bad shots in the future. Yes we have responsibilities to minimize it happening but it WILL happen. We are human.Would make a much bigger difference if the client has done his only job with the first shot. Any bull that goes a kilometer after the first shot was not hit well.
It doesn’t take much on a frontal to get off center and miss the heart. They can live a long time on 1 lung.We have all shot bad shots and we all will in all probability shoot bad shots in the future. Yes we have responsibilities to minimize it happening but it WILL happen. We are human.
