Hi Mike, Yes we eat them. They are always tough as hell. I normally just mince it as the flavor is great.

At first I did not hear the second shot. Was guessing he caught him in the neck. Makes sense the other guy pulled off a head shot. Cool video.

Thanks JohnGlenn I always carried a Rifle myself when I Guided Hunters as back up incase something went wrong. On this occasion both hunters had already shot there trophy Bull. When they decided to try get this one I had confidence in his mate being the back-up Rifle. So I took the Camera. I was questioning that decision when I saw that Bull put his head down and head straight for that couple. Lucky they both could shoot. They went home with a great story to tell.

Those guys are obviously seasoned hunters. Standing firm in the face of a charge until a good shot presents itself takes a pair of balls! Those guys must need a wheelbarrow to carry theirs around! What do you prefer as a "stopping" rifle as a guide? Jerry

OzzyHunter,
What are the other common or preferred water buffalo cartridges in that area? Haverluk .375 H&H Is the most common and most Outfitters with set that as the minimum. I've seen a few guys using .416 Rigby. Anything heavy and hard hitting will do the trick. Water Buffalo are harder to put down than a Cape Buffalo. I found hard projectiles are a must. My preference is BarnsX full copper projectiles.

Hi Jerry Yes they were seasoned hunters. They had impressed with the Bulls they had shot previously. These guys were the fist ones I was happy to let back each other up. Lucky they stood there ground in this instance. I had a double rifle in .470 Nitrate that I used sometimes as a backup rifle. I didn't actually like it that much and actually just started using another .375 as a back up gun. It's all about shot placement. .375 H&H has all the hitting power I need. It's up to the shooter from there..... I've seen many Big game Cartridges used with similar results. I found with Water Buffalo. The main thing is hard, heavy projectiles to get full penetration was more important than the Calibre. As mentioned above I found Barnes X projectiles by far the best.
