Water Buff

[nkybuck]

He meant to do that honestly NOT. I'm with you on that one BT.

I wonder what they would consider a bad shot?? On second thought I really don't want to know.

Here's a vid I found with a guy getting a water buff with a recurve. He was very lucky with a really bad shot. Gives one a better perspective just how big these things are

If I shot an animal that large and missed by that much, I would burn the evidence and the bow.
Geeez!

Yeah I am with you on that BT

I think they left out there part where they got charged. The shooter did say he broke arrows trying to run.
Hit a rib-brick wall. All that joker did was graze the neck and caught a jugular. Why he did not attempt a second shot is beyond me. I'm very suprised the preserve they hunted didn't insist on a backup gun.
Guess that's one good way to chlorinate the gene pool

Maybe he did take a second shot and a third .....and missed. I know he said he broke some arrows but look at his quiver and it only has 3 arrows in it.
One was the one out of the buffs neck and that only leaves two not used out of six.

What, you would think those guys would edit out misses!?
Naaah ;D ;D

There are so many things wrong in that clip - it took for ever to load at home as I am still having internet issues at home - I am not even going to comment on it. I don't think it merits my input.

However, I will say to those of you who do not hunt with traditional rigs - this is not an example of what traditional hunting is about. Period.

I went back and watched closer this time.
There was one minute on the film time and I would be willing to guess an additional minute or more off film.
No jugular hit with a broadhead would allow anything to live that long.
You would pump out 1/2 your blood in less than a minute and you wouldn't be running around....you would be dragging your butt from the rapid blood loss.

Next, this is an Asian water Buffalo and they are nowhere near as tough as a cape horn Buffalo.
Not that it matters much but these Buffalo are rarely provoked and used as mules would be used in mexico....work animals.

Buff was watching opposite end of the field, away from the bowman and suddenly spooked (shot?) and then runs to the herd, does a couple turns and then falls.
Hmmmm.....

This is the problem with preserves IMO.
Allowing hunting that is ethical is fine but there is not even a weapons check in most places.
Obviously not at this preserve anyway.

Like SMJ said...nothing to do with traditional archery or the people that pursue that form of bowhunting.
