Aussie Buffalo



Banteng

Can't see them up close Some nice pics, I see Bob penfold in there with a buff that looks like its been hit with boot polish!

HEY!
This ones still kicking,better put another one into him to be sure.

No he's not!!!

Bakes,
You say you can't see them up close?
The photos don't enlarge by clicking on them??

They enlarge but then all I get is a X < !--color-->

The one that Shaun posted, is that the buff from Croc Dundee? If it is you can see him at the Adelaide river pub....Stuffed standing on the bar!

That old guy sitting in the chair with the skull and levergun I hope that aint no 45/70
Some real nice animals but how tough are they? After all Dundee took that one down with just 2 fingers

Bakes,
Try right clicking on the red X and you'll get a menu. Click "open picture" ... sometimes it works.

Nope, No good. Never mind mate I can still see them

Tonto:
Dunno where the 'Bakes' Baker from Bakersfield came from, but that picture is Fred Hardy sitting on the verandah of the original 'Bark Hut' at Old Humpty Doo, circa 1920. The rattle-gun is more likely to have been a .44-40, the old cow almost certainly shot from horseback, though someone here may know the full story.

It's so rare to find good photos of water buffalo or banteng alive and standing. Usually it is these trophy buff photos. I wonder does this mean water buff are more skittish and less willing to stand around than cape buff?

Nitro - I think it more likely that there simply isn't anyone out there taking photos, other than successful hunters. I have more "live" photos somewhere. I'll look for them and add them if you like.



Marrakai - You are correct. I was just teasing "Bakes" a bit and yes, 44-40 would be my guess, also.

Only guy I know that gets up close to live Buff is Gary, he has some good pics, some he has posted here. Mind you if one charges the bugger can run like the wind

oh and Nick....

Added some "live" pics to buffalo and banteng galleries.
