If I was flying from across the world I would not doubt hunt TROPHY water buffalo from a proper safari camp. Five or seven days.

I would like to also tag onto that hunt a pig hunt, feral hunt, or better yet a banteng hunt.

A cull hunt is fun, and was great for two days. I think I would get bored if it was more than say three days, as it is just a LOT of shooting.

Some outfitters do cull hunts on ferals where my buff cow cull hunt looks like a picnic and they shoot hundreds of animals per day. For hunters that migh shoot five (or less) animals per year, it might be a very different experience. Expect to feel shell shocked at the end however.

If I was coming to Australia to hunt and had the time and money this is what I would do as an ideal trip:

1. Book a trophy water buffalo with a reputable outfitter. Allow for a second water buffalo or scrub bull to be taken in my budget. (note scrub bulls are not found in all water buff areas) - 5 - 7 days
2. Book a banteng trophy hunt - 5 days
3. Hunt some pigs and/or other ferals maybe including scrub bull for 3 to 5 days at a station with good pig numbers. Many Arnhemland buffalo areas do not have a lot of pigs
4. Do some fishing in the estuaries - a day or two.
5. Holiday in the Top End, seeing Kakadu, Katherine River Gorge, Adelaide River Jumping Crocodiles and various other attractions - 2 or 3 days, maybe combining the fishing.
6. Fly over Sydney to Alice Springs to Darwin, see Ayers Rock (Uluru), the Olgas and Kings Canyon for a couple days at Alice Springs.
7. Fly back Darwin, Cairns, Sydney. Stop over at Cairns and visit the Great Barrier Reef, Daintree rainforest, beaches etc. 3 days to a week, to unwind and allow your wife or girlfriend to show off her new bikini. If you don't have one with find one!
8. A couple days in Sydney - Sydney Harbour attractions etc.
9. Consider a trophy rusa hunt in New Caledonia! Why not!

The most important thing you do if you do all that is allow me to make bookings for you, as I will be a rich man!

(PS I am not a booking agent)
