"Mauled" to death, I didn't know that the Buff would bite you, I figured he'd gore and stomp you to mush.

Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.
Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow Now the rules have changed again. |

I read a magazine article years ago where a big game hunter went out hunting small game for the pot with a 22. Stumbled on a ticked off buff, but he managed to get up in a tree. The buff wasn't leaving so he used a 357 Mag with the old 158gr armor piercing rounds. He put the round or rounds between the buff's eyes and dropped him. I wonder how that round would have performed if he hadn't made it to the tree.

Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

Your quiet reserve and understatement are your most endearing qualities. Some would have recommended an extremely harsh defensive solution. Edited by Kickboxer - July/14/2010 at 12:30 |
