Nice solid boss and the tips are still in very good condition so I was thinking maybe 9 years but the significant hair loss on the face makes me think more like 11. What do you experienced guys think the age would be on this buffalo?

From what I can see of this animal, my best guess is 13 years.

Is he one in the same as the buffalo shown in your avatar ? (looks significantly similar)

If so, we can see his hair over-all, was getting mighty thin but nonetheless, I shall stick with my first guess of 13 years.

I would take a shot at 7-9 years. Not enough wear on the horns.
 
@BRICKBURN , I don't think that bull even measures 40, I will stick with my age guess.

My initial guess in looking at him was 8-9. Mature animal with solid bosses (none will boil off). Face has lost a lot of hair like an older buff, but the points are still sharp and haven't been worn down. Ridges on boss have started to be polished down.

Good solid mature buff to be proud of!

Feel better after seeing some pro's estimates.

Mike, have you had him aged?
 
Older then mine ...... I wanna take one with my bow so bad ! Congrats !

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
