Limpopo Buffalo

[Nyati]

@ActionBob , unfortunately, some people buy trophies, I have witnessed this with two sables and one buffalo.

I still remember the smile on my PH´s face when he told me, " the crate with x´s sable has arrived this morning, fantastic animal".

I would not hunt any place that sent sent me a picture of a buffalo bull with a structure and a bucket in the background.

I am sorry sir but i compmetely disagree with your statement here on a few points

1- the larger the boss the older the bull- completely wrong, its all genetics some have big bosses and other have small bosses no matter the age
2- adult male cape buffalos fuse in the middle-also compmetely false some never fuse no matter how old as seen in some pics on this very thread

I am sorry if you have been misinformed in the past

Regards

Thanks for the correction!

Wow!!! What a thread. As they say… when it’s all said and done, more is said than done. I had the opportunity to take an ancient old bull. There were a few left on this old mountainous place in RSA. Literally, the week before he was taken/wounded by accident by another hunter. So that left me with options. I ended up taking a much larger & younger bull (40+). It was not my plan or the way I had drawn up. I promise I would have rather scaled mountains for that old dagga boy. However, I had to improvise given the circumstances. Nevertheless, to each their own and as they go into the hunt, I wish them the very best & safe passage. Especially with DG, as they are all very much dangerous game. Peace be with you all!

At the end of the day, the OP is wise to get on with hunting before future conflicts curtail hunting in certain areas of an Africa which is becoming more conflict oriented than since 1946. I wish I were he in preparing imminently to go over.

Let me just say it’s been fun. Any of you snobby elitists or any of you great unwashed are welcome at my bar anytime. I got Blanton’s and Whistle Pig Rye and Kentucky Owl. Also got Jack Daniel’s and Jim Beam for you rubes.

Of course it’s Dry January right now

Oh damn! I'm sitting in a waiting room at the dentist office and laughed out load!

Can you elaborate ? I am kicking around booking my second trip over possibly in 2026. I haven't heard of much in the way of conflicts or unrest.

several days back on the Politics forum there was a video on "the most conflicts in Africa since 1946" I would not take anything for granted. Go while you can. After all, I "used" to go to Mexico...
