J&R Outfitters in Florida www.buffalohuntingguides.com does water buff hunts in Florida. I've been eyeing them for a year or two but just can't ever seem to get enough money together to go. They have rates starting at $2500 and going up to about 5K on their site. That appears to be inclusive of trophy fees. I saw them on the Outdoor Channel once and they seemed to have some nice animals. Might be worth a call. That would be about the closest to african buff here that I know of. Other than that hogs would be about the next closest but their anatomy is different so shot placement would be different. But it would get field experience with the gun.
