Age This Buffalo

[Gsxrmike]

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?

 

[Velo Dog]

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.

 

[JustinC]

My guess would be around 9 years old.

 

[siml]

I would take a shot at 7-9 years. Not enough wear on the horns.

No way Simon, it's 8 years old +/- 1 year.

 

[rookhawk]

7-8. Horns are rough and not polished smooth. A younger bull with bad fur.

@BRICKBURN , I don't think that bull even measures 40, I will stick with my age guess.

 

[BRICKBURN]

You must be tired.

I would take a shot at 7-9 years. ............

........8 years old +/- 1 year.

.......... will stick with my age guess.

Me to.

 

[siml]

@BRICKBURN , guessing @rookhawk and @JustinC must also be tired.

Plus or minus one minute.

 

[PeteG]

Plus or minus one minute.

[CAustin]

I can be a sh&t most of the time.

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 !
