Wild boar, dingoes and donkeys may be taken at no extra charge and wives or a non hunting partner can accompany you free of charge.

Hunting:

Buffalo hunting is mainly done on foot using spot and stalk, although a vehicle is a necessity due to the vastness of the hunting area. Likely areas are glassed such as flood plains and billabongs until a trophy sized animal is spotted. You will then stalk in to range (Usually 40 to 80 yards) to take the shot. Recovery of the trophy and meat will then take place, and then it's back to base camp to celebrate your success.
