Ok, well maybe it wasn’t charging, but he did grunt at me in a very threatening manner and walked in my general direction.
I didn’t have anywhere to be Thanksgiving until 5:00 that evening. I slept in late, but decided to go to the hunting lease and walk around. I thought maybe I could stalk up on some pigs bedded down in the sun. My girlfriend who is not really a hunter yet came along with me. It’s been about 3 years since I’ve been to Africa which is entirely too long. I decided to take out the Krieghoff double. I mean hogs are kind of like miniature practice elephants right?
We get to the hunting lease. I pick a line with good wind and we head off. My non hunting girlfriend did surprisingly well at walking quietly. She said to me as we started out “Are we actually going to shoot anything like this.” I told her it was a low probability of success, but it had worked before.
After about 20 minutes stalking we come across a buck just ahead of us through the brush. I expected the buck to bolt, but he just stood there. I whisper to my girlfriend to get the video going on her phone. She starts filming as the buck grunts and starts walking at me.
With two people, standing that close, fumbling around to video, the deer had to know we were there. The deer grunted a few times then started walking towards me. I raised the rifle a put the bead right between the eyes.
The first video is the shot. The second video is the recovery with about two minutes of me rambling about what had just happened. I hope you guys get a kick out of.
