Water Buffalo of Australia

[@hphillips7425]

Cape buffaloes and water buffaloes would be my first choice if I had an opportunity

[@iainking4256]

Alain have you hunted the Big Scrub Bulls and the Banteng bulls over here in Australia. Both of these Bull are just as savage as the Cape bulls. The scrub bulls can be down right psycho,, and will chase you until they either get you or you get them. Good video really enjoyed it.

[@JAlainSmith]

Luv hunting them and yes they are very sporty!

[@georgesakellaropoulos8162]

Looks like a .375 H&H or 9.3x62 would be minimum for these things, but I'd be more comfortable with a. 416 or something bigger.

[@martinstiastny7679]

I like the way you think ! I've used all three (especially the 9.3x62) and enjoy them.

[@martinstiastny7679]

I see you're using the Winchester again. Nice. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[@chasingtail6568]

@5min the buff was thinking what every Australian was thinking WTF is that tourist doing

[@KernowekTim]

As you say, and you would know, these bulls are flighty and aggressive in close, however, for me, they do not fill me with the same sense fearful awe and foreboding, as do their African 'cousins', The Black Death. I'm glad that you sent that old bull West, he had had his day, and would soon starve.

@5:00 Alain learned that trick with the branch from that crazy PH in Africa that did that....

[@marcuspiera]

Hahahahaaa Dylan!

[@danspitt601]

The thick horn buffs get much bigger with age. I've seen them flip Toyota's. Rangers do helicopter shoots. I know they keep mammosa low and they keep creek channels open Gamba grass down . These heaven sent machine is what our land needs. Plus good eating.

[@wildrangeringreen]

Man, those open areas look like they're begging for the old American Buffalo Rifles to be brought out. .40-90 with 400's, .45-100 with 500's and .50-110 with 600's for the win! Just make sure to dial the scope a half a mile over and up to accommodate the wind and drop lol. Realistically, you could load smokeless 40-70, .45-70, and 50-70 with the same bullet and get better performance lol.

[@davidburns3807]

hunted them on melville island off the north coast of australia

[@johnpoc6594]

Nice job! Does Australia have good hunting in general?

[@martinstiastny7679]

It does, and you can always fly over to New Zealand for more phenomenal hunting.

[@martinstiastny7679]

There's another buffalo called a Bantang. There's also LOTS of wild boar and some cull animals

[@johnpoc6594]

Thanks for the reply Martin, what about deer? Pigs are always fun to hunt!!

[@JAlainSmith]

Great place to hunt for lots of species and fun folks!

[@johnpoc6594]

@@JAlainSmith good to hear that, will probably visit next year if COVID allows it. Awesome videos btw

[@TheMightybasstone]

Awesome hunts.. Are you shooting a Kimber Talkeetna?

[@JAlainSmith]

Not sure, it was borrowed

[@danspitt601]

What do U think of using the 300 calibre n 338 calibres, are these a nuff gun.

[@JAlainSmith]

I've killed them with 7mm Rem Mags and a 338 could do the job as well as a 300 placed correctly, but a 375 works really good on them and Cape Buff.

[@ronswoodturningshopandstuf5759]

AAIIEEEE! Back in the saddle!!

[@adamshaw8214]

Are these as tough and aggressive as the African cape buffalo?

[@cohan88]

No, because they are descendents of domesticated buffalo from Asia, introduced to Australia as beasts of burden. They are feral, not wild.

[@davidburns3480]

i guess the cameraman needs branches too?

[@lawrencekedz]

I know it's been a long time but that's the weirdest looking hippopotamus I've ever seen. Just saying..., P.S., next time use a tree with bigger leaves. Do they have any palm trees over there...???

[@Is.S.Radovei]

Love this videos. In Northeast india, we nagas take them down with hammer and axe. sometimes with spear. Anyone interested to see live come visit us in person.

[@mariepresho3653]

😂😂😂 hiding behind that tree branch

[@davidburns3807]

not a whole lot of cover same as on the large muddy salt flats

[@Larnjasafaris]

Let me know when you want to do a Banteng in Northern Territory
