I would say that inducing a charge would seem like a great idea if you lived to tell the tale. Maybe not such a good idea if you got hammered! I have been around cattle most of my life, and have been "charged" by cows while I was hunting deer near a pasture. I never felt that I was in real danger when I had a rifle in my hand. And I doubt that all charges would end in death anyway, even with cape buffalo. But I wouldn't want to find out first hand!

On another note,I've seen too many large animals killed with a 22lr from a brain shot, to buy into "needing" a 600 nitro to stop a charge. I would think a 308 that you can shoot accurately, while under pressure, would be a better gun for the situation than a large double that's hard to handle, and shoot accurately. So, I get tickled when I hear people scoff at the notion of using a 375 on buffalo. I know a larger caliber would kill quicker on a chest shot, or marginal shot of any kind, but I seriously doubt that you could tell the difference with a head shot. When his eyes bulge out of his skull, I'd say that's enough gun! But that doesn't stop me from wanting a double rifle. I mean I REALLY want a double! But I may have to choose to hunt over buying another rifle.
And I suspect that me and my 375 will do just fine.

If I do decide to book with Mark I'll definitely give you full details and pictures. And I'd love to do a Buff hunt in Australia, if you know any good outfitters there. That is my reason for joining these forums. I would like to be able to do a hunt with a like minded person, and have someone that I at least sort of know to travel with. Travelling that far seems a little intimidating by yourself. In fact that worries me far more than the thought of a buffalo charge....:)
