Hunting Australia
« on: July 15, 2016, 09:58:43 AM »
Yesterday I decided to buy my plane ticket to hunt Australia so I will be hunting Water buffalo and possibly other animals while I'm there. I will fly into 29th of July to hunt until August 7th. This is a dream of mine since the days of watching crocodile Dundee if anyone is interested in coming you are more than welcome or wait to see my pictures that's fine too.

I shot 2 bulls the first day one was about a 90 inch bull which is minimal you will shoot I just got excited and wanted to shoot. The 2nd buffalo is closer to 94 inches but what is cool is one bull is a Lunar bull and the bigger one is a sweeper. Yesterday I shot a really nice 225 with really nice teeth. The Danish client shot a really nice 90 inch bull that was broomed off but was really impressive was the body size and after he shot it the bull was on a dead run in the direction of the hunter and he shot it on the run. The other Danish hunter shot a really nice sweeper that was 94 inch bull we are seeing 100+ buffalo a day easily this hunt is a blast

Here is my Scrub Bull that was a massive animal once they hit the dirt which mine is really not as big as the other ones I have seen after I shot but it's about the size of an Eland and the sow pig was shot while looking for scrub bull in the creek bed at 10 yards

The first bull is a bull of a lifetime which scores a 100 and the second bull is mid 90s and the last bull is 90 and that is minimal you will shoot over here I wasn't looking for size I was looking for the shape of the horns. The wild boar I shot was about 100kg or 225 pounds with nice cutters on the bottom which he will score good

What is done with all the meat?
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

I just shot a banteng tonight and I'm at the Airport flying out in a couple hours my big water buffalo bull measured at 105.25 inches which is huge especially for a free range. Unfortunately the meat gets wasted because they are considered pests in Australia

 :tup: Nice.
"When my bow falls, so shall the world. When me heart ceases to pump blood to my body, it will all come crashing down. As a hunter, we are bound by duty, nay, bound by our very soul to this world. When a hunter dies we feel it, we sense it, and the world trembles with sorrow. When I die, so shall the world, from the shock of loosing such a great part of ones soul." Ezekiel, Okeanos Hunter
