AN American big game hunter was gored to death by a buffalo he was stalking for a trophy kill, after the animal ambushed him in South Africa.
Millionaire ranch trader Asher Watkins, 52, was on safari last Sunday with a professional hunter and a tracker, pursuing a 1.3-ton bull in thick bushland.
But from the thick bush and without warning, Africa’s most dangerous animal charged out at 35mph and left the hunter with no chance as it slammed into and killed him almost instantly.
It is not known if the team from Coenraad Vermaak Safaris guiding their client on the estimated £7,500 hunt shot the buffalo dead or if it escaped back to its nearby herd.
