if you ask me shooting a buffalo is like shooting a cow. i have seen the shows the buffalo just stand there and look at them while swatting off flies with their tail. they are big, and travel in huge groups. sounds like cattle to me. i dont know i have never been to africa though.
When was the last time you heard of cows lying in wait or stalking and killing someone? A cape buffalo's nothing to be trifled with and you certainly wouldn't see me trying a frontal shot on one unless I was shooting a large bore with a solid projectile. It's episodes like this one that got bowhunting for dangerous game banned in S. Africa.
