• Iconic Buffalo & Bovine Species You Can Pursue: We connect hunters with specialized outfitters for a range of impressive bovines, including:

  • African Cape Buffalo: A legendary member of Africa's "Big Five," offering one of the most thrilling and potentially dangerous hunting experiences. Pursued by spot and stalk, often tracking on foot in vast savannas and dense bushveld.
  • American Bison: Experience a true North American heritage hunt for these massive animals, with opportunities on private ranches across the West and limited, highly coveted draw tags for free-ranging herds in select states (e.g., Utah, Arizona, Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota).
  • Asian Water Buffalo: Hunt these formidable bovines, often in feral populations in destinations like Australia's Northern Territory or on private ranches in Argentina and Texas, providing a unique and challenging hunt.
  • Other Wild Cattle & Bovines: Depending on conservation status and legal availability, opportunities for other species like Banteng (often on exotic ranches or specific managed areas in Australia/Asia) or European Bison (Wisent - extremely limited and highly regulated conservation hunts, primarily in Eastern Europe) may be explored through highly specialized outfitters.

• Premier Global Hunting Destinations: Our network includes top-tier outfitters in the world's foremost regions for buffalo and bovine hunting:

  • Africa: South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Tanzania, Mozambique, Botswana, and Namibia are key destinations for Cape Buffalo safaris.
  • North America: Western United States (ranches and specific public draw units) for American Bison. Texas for Water Buffalo and other exotic bovines on private ranches.
  • Australia: The Northern Territory is renowned for free-range Water Buffalo hunting.
  • South America: Argentina offers quality Water Buffalo hunting on large estancias.
  • Europe & Asia: Highly specialized and regulated opportunities for European Bison or certain Asian bovines in specific locales.

• The Hunting Experience:

  • Challenging Pursuits: These are often physically demanding hunts requiring patience, skill, and respect for the power of the animal.
  • Expert Guidance: Hunts are led by experienced Professional Hunters (PHs) or local guides who are experts in the behavior and tracking of these species.
  • Heavy Caliber Rifles: Often required, especially for dangerous game like Cape Buffalo and Water Buffalo, ensuring ethical and effective harvesting.

My most memorable and rewarding experience.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International.
