Cobourg Banteng
      #204437 - 04/03/12 03:15 PM

As posted elsewhere....

Hi All

As some of may have heard, there is a new banteng concession area starting-up this year - up on the Cobourg Peninsula - Gurig Ganak Barlu National Park in the Northern Territory. The concessionaire is also the owner of a very, very nice resort in the same area – so in the short term they will be using the resort as the hunting base and then plan to move to a combination of the resort and fly camp in the future. We, Hunt Australia, are helping the concessionaire with the marketing and logistics.

Aside from the hunting there are plenty of activities you can do out of the resort – sightseeing and awesome saltwater sport-fishing tours. The resort is very amenable with excellent air-conditioned chalets, restaurant, bar and swimming pool.

Of late the resort manager has been spotting nice banteng bulls right on the edge of the new hunting area, near the resort – he sent me this photo just a couple weeks ago. Since this general area has been largely unhunted for the last ten years – I feel that some big bulls are going to be taken, when they start hunting in May.

Love the wet-season shrubbery – looks a lot different to the dry and possibly charred landscape in August!!

Anyhow – if anyone is interested in the hunting and visiting the resort – just let me know.

Cheers for now
Matt Graham

The pool looks bloody good for midday swims for a late November hunt! And would be very nice still for a much more pleasant July or August hunt.

The chalets and grounds look lovely. And the Cobourg is such a lovely place to hunt as well, with the blue seas, the red cliff shores and inviting beaches. Well the crocs are very inviting to swimmers.

Soft jungle hunting on mostly flat lands. Soft soils, good for tracking.

And the wily banteng, the closest thing to a gaur that can be hunted in the wild today, in the wild only at Cobourg.

Matt, you need another 2x1 hunt yourself, this time you go first.

John, I think it needs to be a 3x1 hunt and you go last

Cheers,

I watched a Wild TV show with Colorado Bob? - hunting bantang in the North area - with the only guide allowed in that preserve - Aboriginal territory park or somesuch? nyway, it was a good show - sort of.
Those buggers can run! Like a Thoroughbred Trotter pulling a Sulky.

Hey Darryl

Yes they can run alright and are very jumpy. Buffalo can throw it down too - they can run as fast as a horse..

That TV show was shot outside of Cobourg and yes that outfitter is the only allowed in that concession.
