AN American big game hunter was gored to death by a buffalo he was stalking for a trophy kill, after the animal ambushed him in South Africa.
Millionaire ranch trader Asher Watkins, 52, was on safari last Sunday with a professional hunter and a tracker, pursuing a 3,000lb bull in thick bushland.
Without warning, the buffalo – considered Africa‘s most dangerous animal – burst from cover at 35mph and fatally struck Watkins, killing him almost instantly.
It’s unclear whether the buffalo was killed or escaped back to its herd.
The hunt, organised by Coenraad Vermaak Safaris, was reportedly worth a staggering $10,000 (£7,500)....

I just don't feel sorry for these sport hunters when this happens. I do feel sad for their families.

Mess with the bull, get the horns.

Honed on the range, should not have gone to a home where the buffalo roam.

Sort of puts the whole "trophy hunting isn't real hunting" debate to bed.

I’ve been reading “Cries of the Savannah”. It’s a book about the need for conservation that is sponsored by big game hunters in Africa. Interesting read, but liberals would never be able to wrap their head around that concept.

Jeff Cooper said when a Cape Buffalo is angry at you, only death will stop him. Either his or yours.

Now that’s a feel good story!
