I don't think it consisted of 'hunting' the individual mentioned above; certainly the water buffalo in question felt quite annoyed by them and came over to tell them to stop. Said individual then retreated to the top of an armoured personnel carrier, with enough height to be above and enough mass the water buffalo couldn't tip it over to get at them.
Unfortunately for both the water buffalo and the family it belonged to, it was sufficiently injured by the 'smaller caliber' weapon that it needed to be killed, and the also afore-mentioned Ma-Deuce (Browning 50 caliber heavy machine gun) employed to do so, with a single shot.
Unfortunately (but not regrettably) for the Mighty Hunter, there were also local regulations in place against unnecessarily dispatching the livestock of locals, specifically mentioning water buffalo (since they are used to help cultivate rice fields and such). Amongst other things such as reduction in pay grade and confinement, he was also fined the replacement expense of a water buffalo for the family.
