If so, please see my thread in the 'Big Game Hunting' forum - Water buffalo: Hard Target?

No need to answer here.

They're just the domestic form of the Asiatic Water Buffalo, the same as in Australia, except the Australian ones have been feral for a hundred years or more.

I assisted my mate in shooting this old cow we took for dog meat. It took 2 8x57 and 2 6.5x55 to kill it. A bull would be alot harder to put down. Speaking to guides in my area, they say some can be very tough, some go down easy, like cape buff I suppose. What ever you use for cape buff will do for water buff.

Thank you, gentlemen. I think I am going to use the solids, with 'softs' in reserve in case the bull is milling about in a herd.

found this post while looking up Austrailian livestock-

Buffalo were introduced into Australia from the eastern Indonesian islands in the early 1800�s

There are now 30,000 domesticated buffalo in tuberculosis and brucellosis free areas in Australia�s Northern Territory. Feral buffalo number over 80,000.

The Northern Territory Department of Primary Industry is implementing a program whereby all feral buffalo will be eradicated by 1990. The purpose of this program is to halt the spread of brucellosis and tuberculosis from infected areas.
[So there should be some great hunting opportunities]

Both the Department of Primary Industry and the Buffalo Industry Council are assisting producers to build up controlled domesticated and game park herds of buffalo for production of meat and breeding animals.

Luckily like a lot of government programmes of this sort, they ran out of funding money before the end. A plus for hunters and shooters for once.

Also some of our black brothers in the North objected to their "cash crop" from safari hunters being removed.

Didn't they also discover that Pigs carried it also and eliminating all the Pigs would have been an obstacle.

The stupid bastards knew about the pigs all along - duh!
