Where to hunt Feral Ox

Feral Ox is a descendant of domestic cows that chose living in the wild to human care. There are places in the world where such animals formed healthy, growing populations, became truly wild species, and it is allowed to hunt them. One such place is Australia, where some outfitters offer Feral Ox hunting.

Hunting methods

Hunting Feral Ox is carried out in the manner typical for hunting other species of bovines, such as Water Buffalo. The hunter and the guide cover the area in search of a suitable trophy. After the animal is spotted, the hunters carefully approach it, taking advantage of wind and shelter. The animal must be approached close enough for a sure shot, as you don’t want to deal with an aggressive wounded animal in the Australian outside.

Why hunt Feral Ox?

Hunting feral animals is often looked down on, but a lot of people who tried hunting wild populations of formerly domestic goats, pigs, and bovines hold a deep respect for the animals’ ability to escape hunters, and even turn the tables back on them. After a few generations in the wild, feral animals are just as wary and careful as their wild counterparts. Even a domestic bull can be very dangerous, and a free-ranging animal that weighs about a ton is a formidable opponent, especially when wounded.
