AUSTRALIA: Banteng & Water Buffalo With Walkabout Safaris

[SWS1]

I'm pretty rubbish at writing reports, but just got back from an end of October Banteng and Buff hunt with Stephen Bunn at Walkabout Safaris.
Had (as usual) a fabulous time and was very lucky to get some stunning trophies.
Highly recommended.

Very cool trophies and that is a beautiful rifle. Perhaps could expound a bit about your rifle and bullet selection. . .
I think I would like to hunt banteng as much as buffalo!

Great trophies and pictures. Have a go at writing we are interested in how the hunt unfolded.

Those both look like great trophies. Congratulations.

Australia is a pretty straightforward country for me to hunt being based in NZ. I can leave home at lunchtime, be in Darwin by midnight and be in camp by lunch the next day - its a convenient way for me to hunt big game and with children and a business much easier for me to get approval for from the Mrs than Africa. As such, I've hunted Water Buffalo for the last three years in a row and added in Banteng for the last two years.
I hunted with Stephen Bunn at Walkabout Safaris last year (as he had banteng too and came highly recommended by several friends). He's nearly finished his new camp and for me it doesnt get much better, a camp on the beach and big game to hunt.. what more could I want! This year, each tent also had its own en-suite shower block. Perfect!!

I wish it was that convenient from East coast of US. I’d like to hunt Northern Territory again, but travel is significantly more compared to anywhere in Africa. It’s incredible the amount of wilderness still left in Northern Territory.
