real good buffalo, Pato.

That makes me really decided to come and hunt such a great game in wonderful Australia.

I love to be teased this way.

That's a good looking bull.

Quote:





Nice long horned cow.

Quote:





Another excellent bull trophy and with crescent horns.

Pato Jr, what's a "250"? Is it a typo for a .450 or are you using a tiny calibre?

Would 45-70 be enough gun for buff in Austrailia?

--------------------
I have a 30-06 and a 45-70 side by side rifle by Baikal. I also modified a 12 gauge side by side into a slug gun. My problem has always been champagne and caviar tastes on a generic diet coke and fritos budget.

I am interested in the 45-70 question to.

I have a Sabatti DR in 45-70 and would like to, one day, take a buff with it.

I reload so any suggested buff load would be good to.

Never tried a .45/70 but I am sure it can kill a buffalo providing proper projectiles are used and the right shots are taken.

However there will be times and situations when it is not adequate. So be warned.

That last buff looks to be quite a bit older than the others. Worn down horns and such.
Nice looking lady also!
