A good old buffalo

[ZANA BOTES SAFARI]

Our hunter successfully harvested this beauty of a buffalo yesterday. After seeing a few buffalo in the previous days he asked for something unique.

I told him i have seen this one bull a few weeks ago. That I think it is what he is looking for. Let’s go see if we can find him. We ended up finding him and there was no hesitation. This bull was aged on his 1st molars to be 14 years.
Congratulations to the hunter.

I see his hips sticking out. It was time for that old fella to go. Good work. My first buffalo was a cow ... 25 years old! Still had impressive horns (because she was a cow) and she was still keeping up with the herd but in very poor condition.

Lots of character all the way around. His ears are rags. If client doesn't decide to shoulder mount, you should save the cape. Someone would pay good money for it!

Fantastic old bull!!! Thanks for sharing.

Amazing buffalo. I would be proud to have that on my wall.

Splendid old bull.

 

[Lance Hopper]

That is my dream buff!

That is an amazing bull congrats to you and the hunter.
The Rigby award and the focus increasing on old bulls instead of score is going to put a premium on these old bulls. And eventually make them very hard to find.

Perfect buffalo. Well done to all involved.

A splendid trophy! Exactly the age class we should all be looking for. Taking that bull has zero impact on the herd. Well done.

The stories that old guy could tell. Bet he had quite a life.

That's one old ugly a** buffalo!! But I'd have hammered it the first chance I had!! Awesome trophy!

A great old dagga boy! Consider submitting him to Rigby - you could win a gun!

The gentleman who sought out and took that old wizard had to be a TRUE SPORTSMAN.



Congratulations to all!
