Hi there, just returned from a Buffalo hunt in the Northern Territory. We drove some serious Klm's about 10,000 in total. I was once again privileged to have access to restricted aboriginal land (Arnhem Land).
We encountered heaps of beasts with some hair-raising encounters with some top bulls. We hunted our butts off not letting up for a minute. My brother took a young beast for meat though lucked out on a mature bull. I was fortunate to grass a good bull; he eyeballed me at less than 40 meters for what seemed like hours though realistically were minutes. All captured on video he would rush in & thrash about only ever offering a front on or quartering to me shot. Ultimately l was offered a shot, smashing the 610 grn 2419 through the ribs while he quartered away at about 22 meters. Shaft buried nearly to the fletches the doubled lunged the beast traveled no more 30 meters and expired within minutes. Meat from both beasts was distributed to the local aboriginal community.
