This isn't exactly a hunting photo of mine.

It's a 2:37 video of Mr. Lynn Thompson of Cold Steel knives, hunting water buffalo in Australia.

He tries to kill the critter with a spear, the water buffalo fends off the spear, and the hunter
quickly draws his Ruger .454 Redhawk revolver and kills it with 4 rounds.

SIA

Wow, guy has some brass ones, trying to kill a buffalo with a spear from 15 feet.

Brass between his ears.

Buffalo caught the spear in the horn.

I wonder how long it took for his heart rate to come back to normal.

Good example of movement off the line of attack.

Also good example of stupidity. That spear didn't have a chance of killing that water buffalo.

So, I can't really think of a good reason to poke at something that big with a sharp stick...Much less flying to Australia to do it.

Reminds me a golfer I saw in greatwood poking an alligator with a driver.

I see this as natures way of thinning the gene pool.

Wow, so cool! Buffalo was caught by the gun.

If you are gonna be dumb you's better be tough or carry a .454

This video may be used in the Zimmerman trial.

Buffalo was probably laughing when the spear was thrown.. Silly humans.

They were killed by spears long before gunpowder was discovered, however they bought more the one spear and one person.

'Zackly. I remember being amazed when I first heard about eskimos killing polar bears with a .22 Hornet fired from nose distance into the beast's open mouth......then someone reminded me that they used to use spears, and it all made sense.........in a desperate sort of way.....

Yeah, I thought he was pretty selfish not inviting a couple of friends along for the hunt.
