Buff in OZ

[Terry Green]

Let's talk...who's going and when....I may never get to Africa...but buiz can take me to NZ...then I could stay and hunt OZ for Buff.

Not any time soon mind you...we are talking a year out.....

Anyone going anytime sooner or later...lets here what you are planing and what's going on now.  I would LOVE for to do this as it would be a hunt of a lifetime for me.

I have a buddy who killed 4 buffs in one hunt over there with his recurve. The pics he showed me of the hunting and the very primitive camp they stayed in looked awesome.

I bet we hear from Ben and Clint and a few of the other Aussies before long!

Good luck in your quest terry!

Man, it would be the experience of a lifetime for sure.

Don't know of anyone who has made the trip since Melville shut down.

Here's a good read to get the wheels turning...

I will be there for buff bowhunting in few weeks, hoping to get close enough for the recurve bow.
After playing with several set up I finally ended up with a 940 gr arrow tipped with a Tuffhead BH.

Ben we go with Mick Baker
Hello Jorge June is coming fast !
For sure a great time with friendly mates and if we can see close enough some big brutes it will great

[Benny Nganabbarru]

Excellent, he knows his stuff and bowhunting is all he does... and, he's killed buffalo himself with tradbows.

Best of luck Terry, sounds like fun...

Would luv to try it someday, maybe after retirement in about 5-1/2 years, but I'm a do it yourselfer, and don't know it that can be done on public land down under???

[Jorge]

Ben, i was hunting with Mick some years ago, he knows about bowhunting and he walks the extra mile.  I think is the best option for us.

and yes, june is close !!

[Benny Nganabbarru]

Zbone, it really can't be done on public land. We have very little public land. It is all private property (cattle stations) or Aboriginal land.

Variety and a new experience should likely be the next dream. However, my number one prominent desirable adventure remains in returning to the New Zealand North Island to pursue Red Stags.

Am steadily working a plan, yet not to come to fruition in the immediate future.

Can you hire me to video the whole "business" trip? I can be a tax write off    

[smokin joe]

Hmm.......
Sounds like a "bucket list" trip to me.

[ShadeMt]

My sister is moving to Melbourne this spring and I have conveniently planned a trip tp visit in April 2017 which happens to coincide with the red stag roar season.   No buff on this trip but for an elk hunting addict sure am looking forward to chasing red stag.

[Terry Green]

I'm on a little trip right now I'll answer and post back next week.....sneaking in or read them then thanks guys

[Zbone]

Ben Kleinig  - Thanks for the info... Guess I'll remove it from my bucket list...
