They weigh a ton, they never forget, and they've killed more hunters than almost anything else in Africa. There's a reason the Cape buffalo earned the name "Black Death."
In this episode, Travis Wier gets into what makes the Cape buffalo the most respected — and most feared — member of the Big Five. Why a wounded bull is the most dangerous animal in the bush, how they circle back and hunt the hunter, the toughness that lets them soak up a poor shot and keep coming, and what it actually takes to hunt one the right way. Equal parts respect, adrenaline, and hard-earned advice from people who chase them for a living.
If a buffalo hunt is on your bucket list, this is the episode that tells you what you're really signing up for.
In this episode: • Where the "Black Death" nickname really comes from • Why a wounded buffalo is so deadly — and how they ambush • The legendary toughness: shot placement and the right rifle/caliber • What a buffalo hunt actually demands of you, physically and mentally • Respecting the animal: fair chase and doing it right
