Water Buffalo Hunts

Water buffalo hunting is a very exciting activity that requires great skill, patience, and strategy. Native to the swamps and grasslands of Asia, water buffalo have become one of the most prized exotics in the heart of Texas. With their great size and impressive horns, they represent one of the most rewarding challenges for hunters.

Some reasons hunters prefer water buffalo over other game animals are:

• Physical Challenge: Water buffaloes have been known to weigh over 2,000 pounds and are noted for their stamina and strength. Each hunt will be a challenge to their skill.
• Unique Trophy: A water buffalo, with its sweeping horns and strong build, is a very unique and exceptional addition to any trophy collection.
• Memorable Experience: Whether one is an experienced hunter or a beginner, water buffalo hunts are not to be forgotten.
