A millionaire Texas ranch realtor was gored to death by a massive buffalo that he was stalking while on a hunting trip in South Africa, according to reports.

Asher Watkins, 52, was tracking a 1.3-ton Cape buffalo in Limpopo on Sunday when the beast charged at him, killing him instantly, Coenraad and Vermaak Safari, which organized the trip, told multiple outlets.

The buffalo was not wounded, the safari said.
