Bow hunting Cape Buff???

Maybe, I always wanted to hunt cape buff, but I never could convince myself to spend the money. I have hunted water buff in Australia quite a bit and even PH'd there and we probably had as many close calls from cow buffalo as from bulls. Could other species be hunted as well?

Yes,

We are working on a package that will include other plains game with the bow.

You are welcome to PM me for more details.

I'd think there would be lots of interest in bowhunting cows. I'd wander over to Tradgang.com and do a post in the dangerous game forum if I were you. It's especially interesting to a "traditional" bowhunter.

Come to think of it I think bowsite.com would be a good place too. I'm not sure of the posting rules for either of these forums though....not as nice as Sayeed is when it comes to making money on "their" forums.

cheers

Gerhard, yes if you go to those sites, they frown on flat out advertising for business(if you aren't paying them). So you have to be subtle about it,i.e. its probably OK to do a survey about how many folks would consider a cow cape buff hunt and you can PM the ones that reply. I know a few folks iterested in buff hunts as well and would be happy to pass along the info.

What sort of pricing are we discussing?
Do you guide clients who shoot Matthews Z-7 Monsters?

Rich,

Please have a look at the link below

http://forums.accuratereloadin...2100588/m/8781050621

As long as the equipment used are legal and have the required momentum to kill a buff and the hunter can shoot this set up accurately to 50 yards I really dont care what bow he is using...

Even if it is a Matthews ...

does this extend to crossbows? mine shoots a 450 grain bolt at 375ft/sec.(approx 140ft.lbs). obviously i could shot a heavier bolt at slower speed but same kinetic energy. one thing for sure- the kinetic energy would equal or better just about any bow out there and i have really come to enjoy hunting with it. i guess what i am asking is if crossbows are legal, do you have an objection to them?
