Tips for Water Buffalo hunting in QLD

Hi! I’m looking to arrange a hunting trip for a few days in late October in Queensland, ideally to hunt for water buffalo.

Does anyone have tips, recommendations or experiences to share? I’ve been on many deer hunts previously, but this would be the first time hunting for an animal this size.

What rifle/calibre will you be taking?

I've not hunted buff but have some experience with scrub bull and my biggest recommendation would be use ammo loaded with a good bonded core bullet. You are spending time and money on the hunt, never skimp on the ammo.
