NitroX , Banteng should be hunted with a large caliber for sure ! I have been charged 3 times by bulls ,once by a unwounded just plain mean bull & one of our hunters in the early days was gored by a wounded bull , back then 300 Mag & 338s were used , even 375s are light & won,t stop a charge unless you brain them , I was tossed & banged up when useing a under powered rifle , I shot him in the nose as he hit me which did not stop him just but him off his shot , he then threw me over the mangroves which saved me !
These are a great animal to hunt , like a smaller Gaur & much more aggressive then Water Buffalo
Interesting looking for my 2007 photo and found Sarge's post. Don't remember reading it back then. But may have forgotten it.
But Sarge, yes, and my .450 is my bovine rifle.
