Awesome! Hunting accidents are my favorite kind of accident.

Sometimes you get the buffalo.
And then the buffalo gets you.
So it goes.

In today's world wild game is worth a lot more than big game hunters.

Killed in a 'sudden and unprovoked attack'. Sounds alot like hunting. Kudos to the buffalo.

The dead hunter was stalking the animal in question.

This "unprovoked" thing smacks of MAGA logic.

What a shame, I hope it was painful!

He had two guides. Is it hunting when the guide takes the client to the animal he is supposed to kill?

Real hunters find their own prey, shoot it, gut and skin it, and make sure the meat is used.

Clearly, you know nothing about "hunting".

Yup.

When you go hunting, are you the prey or the hunter?

"Real hunters find their own prey, shoot it, gut and skin it, and make sure the meat is used."

Where is he wrong, dad? Exactly what I do. This guy was a trophy hunter, not a put the meat on the table hunter. When's the last time YOU hunted?

"When's the last time YOU hunted?"

You hunt from your mobility scooter?

Shoot it, with guns? What are you, a Cossack?

Naw dawg. REAL hunters drop down from a tree and strangle their prey with their bare hands.

Funny stuff, snoofy. Seriously.

"This guy was a trophy hunter"

Willowby I don't know if you ever read Tom Brown, but he describes taking a deer that way, in The Tracker.

Dude was pretty hardcore. I would have liked to take one of his classes when I felt I might have been able to withstand the physical demands.

#19 | Posted by snoofy at 2025-08-07 11:32 PM

Definitely heard of him, never read his works. I'm not hardcore. Know enough to get my Deer, Elk, Turkey, etc in places that have handicapped ramps.
