Sheepdog Tip of the Day, During Combat tip 250
A hunter told us of having to kill Cape buffaloes on three separate occasions, and elephants on two others, that were in a full-out charge. He told us how a wave of panic would come over him when he first realized that the animal was going to try to kill him. He controlled the panic by recognizing that there was no way out but to face the charge and shoot the best shot he had ever fired. At this moment a wave of calmness came over him-he had a plan, he knew what he had to do, and he knew he could do it.
