The ultimate buffalo charge ever caught on video. This is what we do. #hunting #capebuffalo

This is the story about how quickly things can go wrong, doesn’t matter how well you handle it. This is a reminder to everyone out there to always be vigilant and remember how dangerous these animals are. The buffalo was shot with a bow, perfect shot placement but the arrow got deflected by a bone and didn’t get enough penetration. Myself, PH/Outfitter and the client walked on the tracks for a few kilometers, good blood all the way but we didn’t find a dead buff. We called in the vehicle so the client can switch from bow to rifle. We backtracked about 100 meters to have a buffer between us and last spot of blood. Landowner and manager arrived with dogs to assist us since it was getting dark quickly. While we were busy getting the client’s rifle ready the guys with dogs went into the buffer zone to see if the dogs pick up the blood. 30 seconds later they came back at speed. The buffalo clearly circled around and was much closer than the 100 meters we cleared. The PH couldn’t take a shot because of the manager in the way, him and me circled around to let the guy pass and get a side-on shot on the buffalo. The buffalo was too fast and caught up with the guy, throwing him up in the air. Once he dropped and was clear the PH finished of the buffalo. The unlucky guy had the hole cleaned and stitched up, no permanent damage but he’s now part of the club, have the story to tell and the video to back it up. Many people don’t agree with that first shot. It was risky but then again what if the guy came down and got stuck on the buffalo? There would have been no opportunity for a shot, and he would have been dragged away. Then everyone would be like “why didn’t you take the shot you had?“. Sometimes you take risky shots in risky situations. And yes, we picked up all the shell casings and cleaned before we left. To have your own hunts filmed (worldwide): info@
