Wild Cattle Hunting Safaris
Wild Cattle or Scrub Bulls as they are often called are an interesting game animal that can be hunted at Carmor Plains as well. They can be quite an aggressive animal and tough to stop. With a weight range from 500kg to 1200kg, these animals deserve every bit of respect that any large game animal would. Their breed and appearance varies greatly from one bull to the next! They can be black, grey or white in colour, with these animals originating from Brahman type cattle. And they can be brown or tan with more European or English bovine characteristics. But as a trophy animal, we are looking for a large mature bull over 4 years of age with good horns. The size of the horns are normally 35cm (14″) long or more and the diameter can be 20cm (8″) and better. Tip to tip they are usually 75cm (30″) or better.

This scrub bull is a monster! I cannot remember seeing a bigger one in 25 years of safari guiding. -
Typical Brahman scrub bull. Taken by Luke Hodges from Australia with a 9.3×74 double rifle. -
This old scrub bull nearly did me in. Classic example of being too casual and taking the job at hand, too lightly. I am usually carrying a 470 double but instead that day (I forgot!) I only had my 300H&H.; This bolt rifle can roll a scrub bull nicely with a good broadside lung shot, however at 15 yards he had enough time to chase me around a tree until he ran out of blood.
