Around the Darwin NT area.
Scrub cattle are just domestic cattle that have escaped and multiplied in the bush for a couple of generations. Very flighty and wary of human contact. Had to stalk from about 800 yards. Herd was made up of about 25 cows, 10 calves and a couple of bulls. Stalked to 50 yards and my mate took the young bull with his 243 from around 100 yards after they moved off a little. I had my 308 and was going to try for the big bull if a shot presented itself but it didnt. They are notorius for charging if wounded. These one were nice and clean and going to make some very nice roasts and steaks.
