    Water Buffalo (Indian) - how are they to eat?

    I hunted the water buffalo in Australia. I was surprised when we didn't keep any of the meat to eat in camp. My outfitter said it wasn't edible--that the Aborigines don't like it, either. Cape buffalo in Africa, however, is quite tasty.

    Argentina Dove Hunt Questions

    I am leaving next Friday for a dove hunt near Cordoba. Have been wanting to do this trip for years and finally put a group together. My question is about tipping the staff, bird boys, etc. Do I need to get Argentine cash or will US dollars be ok? Any of you guys who have done this trip...
