Cape Buffalo

Has a Cape Buffalo been taken with a bow?
If so, how did he walk with his giant gonads in the way?
If someone did take a Cape Buffalo with a bow, what kind of setup would it require?
I don't know, but I would assume so. I saw some yahoo on tv a couple of weeks ago shoot an elephant with a bow. Of course his white hunter had a large bore stopping rifle backing him up (no need for giant 'nads there). Of course the arrow didn't kill the animal outright. They had to leave it overnight and go find it this next morning. The whole thing kinda rubbed me the wrong way. Looks like you should use something that will kill humanely. Just my .02.
Cape Buffalo are smaller than elephant, though, and probably easier to kill with a bow. Here's a guy who did it: http://www.bowhunting.net/artman/publish/AfricanBowhunterCapeBuffalo.shtml
Here's the setup: "Bowtech Samson 100-pound bow and Gold Tip arrows with inserts. With the 240-grain Big 5 broadhead, the arrow weight was 890 grains. Johan Lottering of Tawkhaw Manufacturers specially made these two-blade broadheads for me for this occasion. At a speed of 245 ft/sec, this combination generated an impressive 119 ft.lbs of energy. "
