Matt, You may be right in terms of genetic make up, just as the domestic pig is the same as the feral pig or the wild pig of Asia & Europe. But the wild boar is still a different animal. The feral pig is still a great game animal & trophy.

I am not saying that the Aussie buffalo is any less worthy a game or trophy animal. I am just saying that the wild buffalo is over 6 feet tall & kills people in some sanctuaries. In the state of Assam (where I managed a Tea Plantation in the 80's), the domestic buffalo sometime breed with wild bulls. The off spring are temperamentally impossible to tame & end up with the butcher before they are 2 years old. My comments were only in relation to the comparison with the African Buffalo.

The links are just for reference & pictures. The scientific material is available from the Bombay Natural History Society http://www.bnhs.org/ & other sources.

I hope to hunt the Aussie buffalo one day I would be proud to take a bull like yours! cheers
