Wild Water Buffalo Hunt – (Bubalus Bubalis)

Description

Hunting Season – June to January.

Maximum of 5 day hunt.

Buffalo are a large herbivore weighing between 450kg and 1200kg. They are found in floodplain, woodland and sandstone escarpment areas where there is surface water. Buffalo in the Northern Territory are generally found only in areas that receive greater than 1000mm of rainfall each year.

Water Buffalo were imported into the Norther Territory in the 19 th century as working animals and for meat for the remote northern settlements. When the early settlements were abandoned, the buffalo were released, where they became feral. Buffalo have grown in numbers and are considered a pest in the Top End, particularly in the northern floodplains.

Buffalo are big-bodied and stocky with the males typically measuring around 130cm in height and their weight ranging from 300-550kg although some have been recorded to weigh over 1000kg. A buffalo’s horns can reach up to 3.1m, making for an impressive trophy head.

Wild Buffalo hunts will be accompanied by a professional guide and will be a stalk style hunt. Your guide will carry all necessary safety equipment including a GPS and first aid kit as well as a backup firearm.
