Graham's Personal Invite

Ever since I started guiding my Aim has been to provide quality ethical hunting of real wild game in real wild areas.  A real hunt is hard work, you must be fit, cover lots of ground and carry all your own gear.  We do not hunt from vehicles, all hunting is on foot the old fashioned way.  Depending on the hunters fitness we will cover 8-15km a day to view plenty of Buffalo, and get downwind so the Buffalo are undisturbed during the final approach.  All these factors and effort, make an important result... that the hunter has taken his trophy fair and square.  The ethical hunter will be proud of his or her efforts and trophy.  I invite you to come and experience Australia's best buffalo hunting.

Best Looking Trophies

Every hunter wants a quality trophy.  We hunt amongst large numbers of wild Buffalo where only mature and big old bulls are taken each season.  Reality is, that most very old Bulls have worn horns around 90-96 SCI.  Buffalo roll in the mud or sand every day, and push their horns into the ground to roll their 700-1000kg body over and upside down...  However this damages the horn tips, and can wear 3 to 5" off each side, effecting 6-10 points of score. Bulls with horns that curve back with sharper points are more likely to score 98-110 SCI.  Bulls with a heavy wide 42-50" spread and straight horns are often the most impressive trophy, yet score around 85-95 SCI.  We have all types of trophy.  To most hunters score is not important, they want a mature bull, an ethical hunt, great stalks and close encounters.  The choice is yours.

Air Travel And Early Bookings

Dont wait to book.   Hunt while you can.  People are booking in advance, already for 2011.  The advantages; reserve the dates you want, get cheaper airfares, secure your hunt price, save on shared hunt air charter, and plan tours and fishing in advance when visiting Darwin and Australia.  So, load up the 375H&H or 470NE and get some practice.  Why not bring both..!!

Taxidermy of Trophies

The most important part of your hunt is getting that trophy hanging on the wall.  We personally treat and package all our trophies mid-season and/or at the end of the season.  Our International freight company have reliably done this job for 20 years.  Make sure your Taxidermist has done Water Buffalo before, the head is often a little longer than Cape Buffalo and the ears go straight out (not down).  We can recommend Australian taxidermists if needed with completion around 6 months.

Value of a Professional Outfitter

When you use a professional safari company with high standards, you are not only paying for a quality hunt and trophy, you are paying for a business to operate all year, total dedication to customers, professional wages, and the future of a company that must maintain productive hunting concessions, and work with land owners for many years.  Travelled hunters know there are no bargains, cheap hunts will have problems, no game, no trophy size animals, no license or permits, damaged or lost skins or trophies... a disaster.  Every year it WILL happen again, somewhere.  Ensure your hard earned money is not wasted.  The hunting is about 1/3 of the actual work, a professional outfitter also spends time- training, marketing, conventions, scheduling, processing licenses, hunt and access permits, visiting police, repairs, servicing, buying and transporting supplies, trophy cleaning, treating, packaging, freighting, etc.  You are paying for more than a hunt in the bush.  You MUST book with a proven professional outfitter.

The Rewards

Our aim is to provide your dream hunt.  Your rewards are a successful safari, great memories, great photos and finished trophies back home.  You will see many mature Buffalo bulls before you decide to shoot.  My reward is satisfied hunters, repeat hunters, and many new freinds all over the world.  Like guiding a father and son close up on a large old angry bull, who stares through our cover, and tries to judge us good or bad... "He steps slowly towards us, only 15 yards now, sniffing the air... making sure the rifles are ready... we wait........" These moments are shared with father and son forever, these moments and feelings are my personal rewards that I treasure...

We look forward to another Great Hunt Season in 2010.
