I agree with you eagle, from my own experience of hunting water buffalo in the territory. Standing still on one leg, 35 yards away from 700kg+ animal with large sharp horns while he makes up his mind what you are and if he wants crush you. When the only trees around are less than 6 inches in diameter and its several hundred miles to the nearest medical facilities, that is sure to get your heart rate up well and truly. Once these beasts get your scent and work out what you are , they don't just stand there waiting for you to shoot them. They have no real fear of humans, as they generally don't see too many of them
I also hope to get the opportunity to hunt Cape Buffalo, but please don't underestimate the thrill of an Australian hunt
