Age This Buffalo

For those as clueless as me and have never had the chance to see a Buffalo, I remembered this thread

Thanks for your comments. My ph estimated 9 years.
He does not have much spread. Barely 36 inches which was average in that area. But he was my first buffalo and I was fortunate to hunt a free range buffalo on foot like I had dreamed about since I was twelve so he is in my game room for me to admire every day.

@Gsxrmike, it remains a great trophy. Nice thing about buffalo is that different types of horn appeal to people, some like length, some big bosses, some broken down tips. As you said wild and on foot, congrats.

The tedium of tape measures and record books mean nothing.
The grand experience of hunting, in and of itself means everything.
