I know little about it, except there are some really big buff running around somewhere in Australia.

Seems we have a lot of info on hunting Africa, but little on 24 Hour Campfire about hunting Australia. What's it like? Experience? Expenses?

If a guy was hunting buffalo, what else could be hunted on the same trip?

Photos appreciated. I want to get a feel for this. My .375 is sneering at me, complaining that it's under-employed...

GuyM,Buff and big pigs if what you want, then Darwin is the place to go. Darwin is in the Northern Territory. It has a International Airport.Good Barra fishing too. Feel free to ask any more questions.


Our F1-11 gets retired this week. What a shame.

Guy, here is a fellow, that I met at DSC convention, last Jan. He posts over at AR, quite a bit.

There are others. As I find them, I'll post their sights.

I want to make it clear that I haven't hunted down under, so am not promoting anyone in particular.

Awesome hunt I highly recommend it. I now have a healthy respect for dangerous game. Almost had a man killed on our hunt- pretty hairy.
Heres the story;

The video of the stalk is on Bowsite videos, search top rated section for "australian buff hunt"
