Good man!.. Isn't awesome what medical science and surgeons can do to day. We are very fortunate. Happy hunting, Brian

I am 81. Will be 82 on my next water buffalo hunt on 10 cows in Arnhem Land, NT Australia. I should be much more active on my physical exercise, strength and balance training. I am very strong on my mental and emotional attidude/health. I hunt with a .500 single shot rifle and premium...

Thanks for explaining your experience. Brian

Yes, He reports that he is having a very good hunt. Brian

Please tell me what port you went through, Brisbane or Sydney? What part was difficult? Did you do the paperwork/forms yourself? I have never been to Australia. Thank you very much for your experience on the process. Brian

SWS1, Thanks, I appreciate very much your suggestion and advice on the hunting areas. "Walkabout Safaris", what a great name. Have hunted with them twice and booked for a third, your opinion goes a long ways with me. I have already booked with Australia Outback Buffalo Safaris for 2027. On...

lol, Yes, I have heard about it. We have "NT time" here in Canada too. "We call NWT time". (North West Territories.) Same as in parts of the Yukon. "Yukon time" My wife and I loved it when we lived in the North. However when doing business with "Southerners" as we called them, we were expected...

Sureon1, I had a bit of difficulty on the communication with Alex. He would promise to get back to on a certain day but was a always a couple of days late . Happened at least twice as I remember. So, I always figure that if a man has trouble with the little things, then don't expect any...

I like that frontal shot. As I said, done it twice with a 375 hh, both bulls were down in 25 yds. Very simple shot. put the bullet 4-5 inches below the purple dot.

High Country, What calibers and what bullets were used by both hunters? Also, where else was the buffalo hit if at all? Thanks, brian

Actually, that is about what I would do too. Partly because I use a .500 or a .577 with premium bullets and they will usually turn a cape buffalo with a frontal lung shot. And also, that is about the best I could do. I have found that even when I am scared/nervous until I am looking down the...

Yes it is a little high for me too. ( It's either misplaced or is probably intended to be the spot for an under the chin spine shot.) I go for the heart, 4-5 inched below the purple.

I like this heart shot. must use good bullet. I have done it twice, two bulls, both went 25 yds.

If I have a .416 or bigger with premium bullets, One inch above the red dot, or 4-5 inches below the purple. I have done the 4-5 inched below the purple dot shot on two cape buffalo bulls with a .375 HH, (before I knew better,) 300 grain, North Fork Cup Point Solid, on two buffalo (heart...

Thanks for this post. It is true, just like the myth of the Sectional Density Theory for expanding bullets. Mostly irrelevant. The quick kill is mainly about tissue damage, deep straight penetration an wound channel.
