A Nasty Cape Buffalo Charge!

[hwr239]

This bull came charging through the thick bush, but Professional Hunter Craig Middleton of Kilombero North Safaris in Tanzania stood his ground with just enough time for one shot. He made the perfect shot, saving his own life. The boys ran like their butts were on fire!

If I had no rifle I would have beat the boys in the foot race.

Well placed shot.

 

[Raven]

PH was excellent.

 

[Datchew]

Impressive grace under fire.

@hwr239 - looks like PH Craig Middleton is THE MAN we all want to be !

That’s pretty awesome.

I've heard the phrase "come boiling through the bush"
This^^ is exactly what that means!!

Bravo Mr. Middleton!!! You will be a very popular PH for anyone who views this video. Bravo indeed!

I note with interest the footwork; maintaining balance while bouncing backwards to create space and buy himself some time. Outstanding, Manly behavior.

Excellent shooting.

And I hope that I won't have to eat my words.... but.....

No 375 makes a buff go googly eyes like that, big bores for the big boys!

 

[Green Chile]

Well done. The trackers clearing out also gives the PH room to work. Love how he setup quickly to face the charge. Real pro move.

 

[Altitude sickness]

very impressive on many points.

The guys got clear so he didn’t trip on them going backwards.

He got some distance to see clearly then took a calm accurate shot. Perfect shot placement.

He racked his bolt instantly while keeping his eye on the bull.

very impressive

True professional!

Huge animal! Nice shot.

Well done by all! He sure sounded calm! “alls well that ends well” … what a badass.

 

[Green Chile]

For sure...I loved his comment...let's go get another one! Legit.

Excellent shooting.

You are correct, a .375 is not a stopping rifle, but a 300 gr A-Frame in that spot would have been equally instantly fatal.

The real question is what was the client using that caused him to screw up his one job - the first shot?

What rifle was Craig using?
