The Big Bull took two right behind the shoulder and fell at the second shot.

He struggled and much to my surprise made it to his feet.

He turned to face me as I cycled the bolt on the big rigby.

My heart pounded in my throat as the dripping sweat stung my eyes.

The big bull now stared at me. His bloodshot eyes bulging, looking at me with hatred, with disgust. He shook his head and the blood flew from his mouth. He raised his head and I knew this was it. He was going to come and one of us was going to die.

Folks, welcome back to the backcountry hunting podcast for our second part of this discussion with Ron Spomer of

cartridges and rifles for dangerous game.

The excerpt that I just read was actually posted recently on an

Instagram page called Outdoorsman underscore classics. Some cool stuff pops up

there and I will leave that as my credit and reference.

I suspect somebody there actually wrote this. It's some good writing. It doesn't have any other

attribution for that that excerpt but pretty cool stuff

gave me chills up and down my spine I was posted with a drawing a very cool kind of retroly drawing of a big black Cape buffalo

staring at you like you owe him money, as Robert Rourke said.

So today we're going to pick up where we left off and

types for dangerous game and we're kind of in the middle of a discussion of rifles

for use in the far north, big boars for big bears, and some of

the environmental factors that affect your choice.

And then we transition to talking about African dangerous game rifles and some of the ultimate choices there.

Without further ado, we'll dive right in.
