Northern Territory hunting with the 416 Rigby. ‘When adventure and conservation collide’

An asiatic water buffalo hunt in the Northern Territory of Australia utilising the Rigby ‘Big Game’ in 416 Rigby. These are the premier big game animal in the South Pacific and are a magnificent animal to pursue. #wildlife #hunting #shooting #rigby #rigbyrifle #416rigby #416 #biggame #rigbybiggame #australia #buffalo #waterbuffalo #capebuffalo #safari #protacticalaustralia #fvr375 #fvrcontracting #vpsnt #territorian577 #rigbybiggame #nature #conservation

Looks like the buff numbers are picking up.
I was living in the Top End in the late '80's after the BTEC scheme was conducted and we used to see more crazy scrub bulls then buffalo.
Me and two mates out riding our motorbikes had an interesting incident with some heli shooters one time, but that's a long story. Love your work.

[@FVR375]

Thanks! Yes there does seem to a robust population currently 👍🐃

[@catherinefarr3140]

I got home from work, cracked a cool refreshing beverage, saw that you had new content and proceeded to live vicariously through you and your mate Steve. What a way to end the day, bloody fantastic.
Thanks Jason for taking us all on such a memorable endeavour and good camera work under pressure from Steve too, just quietly. Cheers gentlemen.🍻

[@FVR375]

Thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed.

[@robertmoyse4414]

Thanks Nathan. Good on you for supplying the local community. It amazes me that those big bulls can soak up two or three rounds. Rigby 416 isn't exactly short of wallop!

[@FVR375]

They are tough animals. Keeps it exciting

[@leighcolless7046]

excellent vid! superb Rigby and great shots as usual, keep up the good work!

[@FVR375]

Thanks for the kind words

[@stavura]

[@damienmilas8337]

Nathan that was awesome mate the Rigby looks stunning very envious great hunt gentlemen I got a sense of how large the buffalo are when the rifle was across its horns well done 👍🦘🇦🇺

[@FVR375]

Thanks for the feedback!! Looking to do a little more in this space moving forwards.

Congratulations on a fantastic bull Nathan.
As you mention in video, hunting any of the bovines in the mangrove areas would be a very exciting hunt.
Great to see the Rigby strutting its stuff👌

[@FVR375]

Thanks! Certainly a memorable hunt!

[@oscarduyvestyn7969]

Great hunt, beautiful rifle. Thanks for sharing Nathan.

[@FVR375]

[@Territorian_577]

[@davidpearn4344]

I have a poor man's Rigby a CZ but 416 is a great calibre for buff.Good show

[@craigtomkinson2837]

Awesome Ep and spots and Buffs and pigs guys. I hunt a few scrub bulls up Cape York they to seem to prefer that saltgrass on the flats around the mangroves. If the hard country behind is not burnt, Then there on the green pick.

[@nunyabeeswax2575]

Nice scenery, nice rifles, nice shooting and nice trophies to go with the memories. (Sigh) really should go and do this stuff while we're able, and not just physically either!

[@FVR375]

100% agree

[@joeberry0290]

Great video Nath, having lived in the NT for close to 10 years and taking more buff then I’ve had hot dinners, that bull you took in the mangroves is an outstanding animal.
It’s good to see some hunting footage to break up the culling.
Hope to see more mate

[@FVR375]

Thanks! Will hopefully be doing a little more this coming 12 months
