Poetic justice aside, I read a long time ago that Cape Buffalo are/were considered the world’s most dangerous land animal in that once a herd notices you, they encircle you, and proceed to stomp/gore you to death. High powered rifles, land rovers and helicopters is cheating in my book. Want to impress the ladies, do it with a sharpened stick.
Hunting is great unless you lose, of course. You pays your money, you takes your chances with that kind of game. I’ve known people killed by deer even.
