Marrakai, several things that were obvious ended up proved to be wrong. This one is proved by DNA analysis and probably this is just the start of studies that could retrace all these populations (and crossings).

Nakihunter, I have hunted both (but more times de Asiatic buff) and I think, like Bell used to say, that it is an easy and uneventfull hunt most of the times. Bell's said he never had a problem with buffalo, despite having shot around a thousand of them with light calibers such as .256. Usually lack of skill, big mistakes or a very unluky day will make someting bad happens.

I belive it is much more a specific situation, a wounded animal, a specific type of nasty terrain, or a little problem with the gun that can bring tragedy.

I have hunted buff with a recurve bow many, many times and we chased them into the jungle, pressuring them to stop, trying to find the bull withing the herd (usually they stay in the back protecting the cows and calves)!!! And despite all of that utterly fearless (stupid would be a more fair description) behaviour on our part, we had very few close calls. Most of them were just a matter of some fast climbing. The one more dangerous charge was the only ay we took a .375HH and our gest/hunter shot the bull on the hand...
