If it has horns or teeth, make sure it is DEAD before approaching it

Hi
I live in South africa and hunt regularly. After reading and hearing about many incidents where the "dead" kudu, Ipala, Oryx, bushbuck etc ended up goring hunters who were getting ready to take a photo or to start gutting them, I got into the habit of watching first for a few minutes, including checking the eyes ( they will tell you if it is dead) and if in doubt, I put one bullet in the brain.

This applies tenfold to animals who can bite or stomp you.

Rgds,
Danny
