The closest thing to hunting Gaur/Seladang today is probably a banteng hunt in Northern Australia in the Cobourg Peninsula where they were released during colonial days. They are a wild herd in a National Park and on Aboriginal land and a hunting quota exists for them with a number of safari operators being able to organise hunts for them. I would like to hunt them oneday.

Banteng are smaller than a Gaur.

One of my main interests when visiting a couple national parks in India earlier this year was to photograph wild gaur which if they could be hunted would make an impressive trophy. I did get photographs in good light and some poor video but these gaur where in heavy 'jungle'. These photos are on the NitroExpress.com forums. Do a search for them. I did see two grand bulls, one of which immediately moved into thick cover and the last was feeding fully in the open and easily observed with the naked eye but the sun still hadn't risen so photography was impossible. A future goal to still get good wild gaur photos.

Hunting gaur now is unfortunately only in the historical hunting books, unless there are some in a game park somewhere else in the world outside of their home ranges.

They are also a favourite delicacy of the resident tigers in the same parks which also keeps numbers down.
