Coburg Banteng Trip
29/10/12 12:45 PM

Hi everyone,

Just home last night from an awesome trip to the Coburg Peninsular chasing banteng. Not many pics yet and it will be a brief report as I intend on penciling a magazine article.

Conditions were bloody hot and bloody humid and the first full day of hunting we walked around 20km's for the day including during the middle of the day when the banteng were resting up in the shade, mostly around swamps and also in the coastal country where there was a soothing breeze.

Plenty of bulls seen and we also saw bigger bulls than the really old gnarly one I took. The 416 was plenty of gun really as my bull was sooooo old I could've knocked him over with a feather.

The 9.3 was blooded on some really big old boars and was effective on these sleeping brutes from close range.

A great highlight was seeing 2, yes 2, sambar stags. One with antlers about 27" long and a second stag with antlers probably in the 20-21" range. Had quick departing shots at both but no cigars.

Anyway, I'll try and add a few pics and a bit more info as I go.
