We are very tired after not sleeping much in 3 days ,thanks to the drougth i could going in my 4x4 inside the bush and tall grass ,after that Bill shot a nice male ,was an interesting follow up in the thick bush -thanks Guille and Iky my son-for the back up and thanks Bill for suporting so hard travel.After that Guille kill a huge old cow with 2 shots from his SW 500 MAGNUM.It was nice seeing Guille and my son hunting together after hunt and lot with Guille at younger age.Juan

we have a consecion in a truly wild area ,normally you have 6 hours in horses and canoes to arrive the place ,we saw many,many hogs ,alligators, ñandus,and there are black bucks ,axis ,brocket deer ,etc etc .Its a place for real sportsmen and fly camps .Juan

After this buffalo and with the last ligth of the day Guille took another bufalo with his revolver and two marvelous shots .Juan

Bravo !!! Well done, gentlemen ! With the drought, Juan, one can now get into that great area without having to ride a damn horse ??

Scruffy ,yes ,now you can do the 60 kms of bush in a good and high 4x4 ,you must take water and tents because sometimes is imposible to hunt fast ,there are some huge herds there but real scary ,and its easy to lost them in the bush .Sometimes we us canoes not horses .Ibelieve this and in some places of FORMOSA are the only wild herds of buffalos in Argentina .Next week we will go with Bill to hunt brocket deer and cebu.

Gauchos skinners they heard the shots and appeared from the bush ,we gave him all the meat ,-we save the loins for us-Juan

Here is where we found the buffalo dead .

Bill training before the expedition to el pastizal correntino.

Bill here with my son ,for him is like a grandfather and he will live at Bills home during college ,besides that he will compete there in pistol shooting with the coaching of Bill a great pistol shooter himself ,that nigth he borrowed a PARAORDENANCE 45and hit the pepperpoper like a pro at nigthime .

with BILLs best friend in Argentina ,LANHUEL.

Scruffy next week we will try to kill some brocket deer and cebues at Boeros farm they released the cebues and the gome wild near MAR CHIQUITA lagoon.There are huge boars there too.

I think that I must see that country (Where the buffalo live) and do some hunting there sometime ... Why should you guys have all of the fun ?

Scruffy ,you can came with Lorenzo ,que would like to hunt in such wild area ,there we can hunt hogs,capibaras and another species too ,Juan

I'll talk with that fine man.

Well done, Bill !!!

BTW, which ammo were you using in this hunt? Factory or own reloading? which Bullets?

The ammo was specially prepared for the hunt by Guille,we used jacketed points of 400 grains but he has the exact components .I always used garrets or similars ,but i killed many buffalo too with hollow points for soft skinned game ,Guille saw two clean kills with that too while hunting with me.Juan

Having good time.

Amigos, wonderful hunt. Please show us Guille's buff.
This thread deserves another South American type buffalo pict with a little better lighting:

Stolen from the web.

Steve, thanks for that good photo...the buffalo in his element.

Guille will be posting very soon. He has been so busy escorting me everywhere that he has not had the time. I do not think we have missed a spot in Cordoba. A truly generous man with his time, as are so many of my friends here.

Monday, sadly..... Arizona

Here's a video on how tough those buff can be.

Thanks To You Juan, Iki and Billinthewild; A big Hug Guille.

I know that you are planning to take a buffalo in tall grass with a 44 magnum ,and special bullets that Guille will prepare for Juan,please dont let me down i want to go as a back up with my cz375hyh open sigthed.The first time that Juans took a buffalo with revolver he was very disapointed as the buffalo run away ,with 6 shots of black talons ,and he found it dead after a day searching it.I believe all is in penetration and of course the training of the shooter.As Juan shoots pistols everyday ,if he can put a brain shot the buffalo will be down .ING.MARCOS A. FISCHER .
LIEUT,INFANTRY.

Impresive buffalos !!!!!

mfisher,
IMHO you are riht, it is a penetration game.
Y meet a guy that have hunted a buffalo with .44 Magnum (Super Black Hawk). I also have it on tape.
Only one bullet (Honady 240 gr FMJ) in the brain.
Juan,
I can send you some 300-310 gr .44 bullets, Speer, Sierra or hard cast, simialr to LBT design.

Thanks Martin

Martin do you have a good solid that will penetrate the buffalo skull,i hunted in the past but ii missed the points,and i killed a buffalo but after injuring it.This time i plan to crawl in long grass ,as i did with STEVEN GRAVES ,and put a shot in the head at 10 mts .Juan

Juan,
From left to right:
Cast 308 gr., Speer 300 gr. and Sierra 300 gr.

I have confidence in my hard cast bullets penetration as when casted of straight WW (13 Hbrn) they have almost no expansion and if water quenched (20 Hbrn) are really much tougher.
I have not used it on heavy game, only to finish deer and blackbuck.
Better ask some experts.
I can send you some bullets if you like, just let me know.
Martin

PS: You can get 100 fps plus with cast bullets
