You are not alone in wanting to hunt banteng. And also finding it difficult to afford!

Banteng are more expensive as they are less common than waer buffalo with the wild herds being more or less confined to the Coburg Peninsula which is traditional Aboriginal land and National Park. The hunting rights there are leased to two (I think?) outfitters though other outfitters sub-lease hunts there for their clients. I believe there are also banteng on a fenced property in the Top End as well.

Banteng are one of the Asian Wild Oxen or Cattle, the other being Gaur (or Seladang). Gaur had a more fierce reputation but both can not be legally hunted nowadays in India or other parts of Asia. In days gone-by they were among much sought after trophies of India and SE Asia. In fact my WJ Jeffrey has some elementary engraving of a Gaur on his action.

A discussion thread on Gaur - Blacker than Black Death.

Still need to get a live photo of a good banteng bull. Can anyone help?
