“Locals shocked that megafauna are megafauna and humans are not invincible just because they have guns.”
In South Africa too. Like, do they not get that wild animals don’t play by human rules? It’s bigger than you. You took that risk.
I carry in the woods every time I’m out. Wouldn’t want to try my luck against a bear. Especially don’t like my odds against a panther.
Well yeah. But you’re not using something scoped; more boomsticky for the boonies, I’d say.
Oh no! Is the buffalo ok?
He’s traumatized from the hostility and will have PTSD. But he did the right thing.
Excellent. That’s one for us today.

You reap what you sow
This warms my heart ❤️🥰
Whenever I read about these hunters getting killed there is always this element in the reporting that it was a tragedy. It wasn’t. It was a glorious victory. Two entered a death match (one unwilling) and one survived. The buffalo defied odds heavily stacked against it and won. The buffalo didn’t ask to be the target of a wanker with a gun who likes killing things for fun. The wanker should also acknowledge that they’re are risks in playing death games. Sorry dude you lost. Buffalo won. Buffalo should get to live like a king as its prize.
I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of Klingon voices suddenly cried out in agreement and were suddenly honored. I

… this is Trekkie bait, don’t take it…
You’re just salty that Dumbledore got to help rid the world of that evil ring while others flew around in their Iron Man suits!
I never saw Harry Potter but I know that’s where Dumbledore is from, so I will assume this is an accurate plot synopsis.
Guns are for punks. Fight with your hands or GTFO.
(I’d PPV that all day. It’s like watching parkour YouTubes, just screaming and damage everywhere.)
Human hands are shit compared to what everything else has, at least allow them to use our oldest and arguably best tool. Spear hunting alone still carries a shit tonne of risk unless you are going after fish and even then watch your foot. Id watch one of this dipshits fumble with a spear for 4 minutes before getting ripped apart, it’d be like mixing slapstick with gladiatorial games.
If Mas Ooyama could kill bulls with his bare hands these pussies can learn to do that too.
While I’m sure you could find some rural folks who would do that happily, after all one of my kinsmen likes to hunt bore with knives before he sells it in his shop. We need to give these profligates fucks the illusion they have a chance, I want them to have hope before they get gored.
I think there are many hunters who would agree.
I’d be on that list.
Same. Most hunters abhor trophy sport
Another one here. I’ve never gone out in the field unless I plan on cooking what I bring back. If I fight nature and nature wins…so it is.
Good luck nature!
I vote for nature to take care of city dwellers who buy their food instead of gather and grow it themselves like we do. Those who pave over nature for a new strip mall or condos. They’re a huge strain on the earth with their plastic shit and need for new all the time. Not to mention the masses of viable farmland that are consumed for building.
Yet we are the ones who are hated on and reviled. People are fucked.
Oh, you think all the millions of people in cities would be able to do what you think they should do? Millions of people just disperse through the wilds and hunt and forage and grow a little plot of food?
No I don’t think that but thanks for speaking for me.
As long as they don’t go ill the animal later anyway. Big cats that kill peoples seem to get table down and killed in most stories I hear.
Good thing humans aren’t known to be vengeful… I hope that buffalo is like 2 countries over by now with a new identity drinking a mai tai.

Good.
To play the devil’s advocate; Some of these hunts are purposeful culling for heard health. Plus, African nations make a few bucks. Also, guns aren’t magic kill switches. I’d be scared shitless if even a little black bear was charging me, no matter which pistol or shotgun I was carrying.
OTOH, sounds like this guy wanted the challenge. Meh. Ya win some ya lose some. 😆
Very unlikely for a black bear to charge a person unless it had been fed by humans in the past. Often they get so startled at the sight of us that they take off running and climb a tree.
They’re pretty common in human areas where I live, but not especially interested in us. They’ve got bear things to do.
He probably had a tag for just that exact individual. Odds are it was issued because that individual was a hazard to the local area and or other members of the species. I used to hate big game trophy hunting but I have come to understand it is much more complicated and beneficial than the headlines lead people to believe.
He probably paid an arm and a leg for that tag which was going to fund conservation and the meat was going to feed the village.

Good comment but how do you know the buffalo is a he?
Almost all of the tags issues are disruptive males so statistically it was a safe bet.
But after checking I see that the DailyMail is stating it was a male.
if you carefully re-read your earlier comment and mine, you will hopefully see the joke i was attempting to make
I’ve had others ask me in other places. So might as well answer seriously.
Bro, we’re just glad a billionaire is dead. The irony of the hunter ended up dead by his prey is just icing on the cake, it wouldn’t matter if the hunter was a billionaire or not. The justification behind the hunt is irrelevant.
Millionaire* but that doesn’t really change anything.
I have no water to give for the dead here and I appreciate a fair fight.
But the whole big game issue is way more of a public good than most people realize.
I request gold. Thank you for your attention to this matter. /s
Rest in piss 👋
