This Buffalo is found only in the Northern Territory of Australia. Most of the hunting is on aborigine land, south of Darwin, Australia.  Very
aggressive buffalo and thick skinned. This animal is half again heavier than  the African Cape Buffalo.  The thick hide and big bones call for heavy tackle and penetrating broadheads.
 
Be prepared to have the guide finish off this buffalo with a rifle if arrow placement is not perfect. The Australian Water Buffalo is distinctive by its
long straight horns.  Although the water buffalo of South America is the same sub specie, they have more of a curled horn.  This is primarily a one specie hunt as the time of the year they are hunted is dictated by the dry  season (July/Aug/Sept) and the antlered species have dropped their horns. Wild boar are available during this hunt as well.
