The first one I killed dropped and died in it’s tracks. It was feeding undisturbed facing us head on about 35 yards away with his head up trying to wind us. PH whispered to shoot him at the base of the neck when he dropped his head to feed. I waited a few minutes then killed him. This the first hour of a hunt in the Selous and we were back in camp 30 minutes later. I had 2 on license and he had a friend that just stood around staring at his dead buddy. PH said shoot him too if you want but I declined. Didn’t want to end my hunt 45 minutes in. Gave me a false impression of how easy buffalo hunting was. The next 4 took a lot more work and one determined charge, although badly wounded, took a bullet up the snout to finish.
