My wife has an artist in her side of the family, she knows how my son and I enjoy hunting buffalo so she got him to do a painting, it's 5' x 4'.

We are planning the design of a new hunting cabin, it will certainly find a place on the wall.

Trying to be constructive here so please forgive me if you are offended. It appears the buff has a horn boss on top of his horn boss. The artist might blend the two bosses into only one. The head on view loses depth perspective and appears to be an oblong body shape in the horizontal plane rather than the vertical plane. Buffalo bodies are taller than they are wide. He also looks to have only three legs so some work may be done there to move him slightly quartering to add dimension. Please don’t be offended by my comments. I am not an artist but only an observer of art.

Thank you for your comments. The family member is a keen amateur artist and certainly not a master, it was a fun surprise and will always bring back many fond memories of buffalo hunting to date.

The “extra bosses” you are seeing is the cervical/thoracic spinal hump above the shoulders. Also, you are wrong about the cross sectional shape of Cape buffalo. Their bodies are indeed circular in cross section. The body cross section of the American bison is ventral-dorsal elongated as you describe.
 
Would be cool to have custom prints made of it! Same size would work for my trophy rooms

Hi Dr. Ray, I will be in Cooktown from Oct 16 to Oct 23 fishing Lizard Island Black Marlin Tournament.

I have several "slack" days after fishing before I head for stay in Sydney and Fiji.

Do you have any recommendations for 1 or 2 day hunt near Cooktown?

I've hunted both DG and PG in 4 different countries in Africa.
Thank you,
Bob
