That dude is lucky he's not pooping from two holes, and that he still has a pair. Some taxidermist needs to do a full mount complete with guy on bull. I bet this put a grin on Chris Ledoux.

They call it “Dangerous Game”. The guy that didn’t get an extra hole via horn or bullet should’ve went and bought a lottery ticket. Though riding through the bush on a Buffalo’s boss at 25mph with people shooting in your general direction would make everything you’ll ever do seem boring in comparison.

For those criticizing the shooter !?!?!?!?!? If I'm the one between the horns, then blaze away my friend, what do I have to lose, that isn't near gone anyway???? Though I've never been there, shooting with friendlies down range strikes me as similar to being in battle, from time to time..... you don't always get to choose the situation or conditions, when bullets need to fly!

And rarely on moose for the most part. I think both shooters did just fine. People that have not btdt don't realize how slowly and crystal clear all of this happens. The "rider" was totally clear on both shots. Except for any weird deflection after hitting the bull or a limb. And in that instance thats close enough for me. Well done.

I can only guess that the guy on the bull had the first chance and missed or choked. In thick brush like that it could've just been a bull that was not seen by anyone until it charged. It's hard to tell but I'm certain the man that was tossed is happily thankful for the outcome. I hope he wasn't hurt too awfully bad in the encounter. Just a wild guess but the shooter might've been the guide. one thing we can be sure of; they didn't use the man as bait.

There are times when despite doing everything right where everything goes wrong. It’s times like these that separate the wheat from the chaff….the “rules” go out the window and one’s primal instincts to survive kick in. The shooter in the video was obviously in a very high stress, life threatening situation which is when our “Fight or Flight” reflex kicks in. Thankfully the shooter chose to fight rather than take flight but in a fight response you can only use the tools immediately available to “fight”. The shooter “fought” the buffalo the best way he knew how and in that moment he didn’t have the luxury of a safety checklist or the time to wait until everything was perfect so he made a command decision to act! Thankfully there are still some MEN who are capable of controlling their fear and emotions and are capable and confident enough to act quickly and decisively! Unless a person has experience with extremely high stress situations that require an immediate and competent reaction to unforeseen emergencies without “thinking” they’ll NEVER understand. If that was me in that video (first I’d lose a good 50 pounds) I would hope and pray that my partner took the shot and second I’d hope and pray that my partner put the bullet through the buffalo and not me. 😀. If I were the guy with the gun I’d do what the shooter in the video did and there again I would hope and pray that my aimwas true. Excellent post. Would that more choose to "fight" instead of standing around with their thumbs up. The same can be said of a number of situations, too many flap their jaws about this or that, postulate as experts and leave the work to a few who will, yet bitch when things go badly because nobody is willing to get their hands dirty or bloody!

He talks about learning to aim below the direct charge and let them run into your shot, and it's clear he had multiple chances to test it, and several other high-stress shots out. This video is proof that there are PH's around whose skills and experiences are on a very different level, like a Formula 1 driver or pro football quarterback. Skill beyond our ability or desire to comprehend.
