I tend to agree with Skinnersblade above. This is a beautiful bull from the standpoint of size, spread, curl and width of boss, and it doesn't look like it's had a lot of wear from rubbing or fighting. I'm guessing it's a breeder's bull raised by one of the many game ranchers in SA. (Many of the game lodges in SA acquire their cape buffalo from breeders along with some trophy sable and kudu. It's why the game in SA is so plentiful and of such good quality.) Doesn't make it any less of a mount and memory of your hunt, and you probably will get a little shrinkage in the taxidermy process. Congratulations on a beautiful cape buffalo.
