Охота на Карликового Буйвола

Also known as the Forest Buffalo, this species of Buffalo is found in the equatorial forest belt of West Africa. Although found in the Congo, Dwarf Buffalo can only be hunted in the forests of the Central African Republic and Cameroon. Outfitters offering hunts in these areas use charter flights to fly their clients out of Douala if hunting in Cameroon. Once on site you may be moved between multiple camps within the territory to hunt the areas with the highest concentrations of Dwarf Buffalo available.

Local pygmy trackers will guide you through the jungle during this hunt and in some cases, dogs may be used to bay the Buffalo. Tracking conditions can be difficult in the wet, dark and humid conditions. These animals are primarily grazers, so local knowledge is also used to search for fresh tracks in the small clearings found in the dense forest. Another of their favourite spots are marshes that serve as wallows. Dwarf Buffalo live in small herds of between 5 and 25 animals, each herd dominated by one or maybe two bulls. This is a walk and stalk hunt which normally ends up being a close encountered affair, so open sights, low magnification scopes or red dot sights are recommended. The average shooting distance is around 25 yards due to the thick cover.
