On one occasion we spotted a mob of around 20 buffalo from the top of a ridge, and stalked in on them for perhaps an hour and a half trying to sort out a decent head for Steve's first trophy buff.



The wind was very unpredictable however, and 3 times our efforts were thwarted before they eventually tired of the game and galloped off to the next valley.

Amazing from these 'tame dairy cows' ...

Water buffalo can be so different from the Aboriginal lands, coastal or near the coasts in Arnhemland where there are big numbers and many rarely hunted. Compared to places where they have been harassed and harried a lot. Where they run and clear out very quickly at sight, sound or scent of man.

That country where you are hunting, in the 'back blocks' would be a fun place. Planned to do the drive down there when I was in that area ten years ago, but didn't get to it. Interesting there are scatterings of water buffalo there again.
