fairgameNice Gerry. Looks like you had to put one up the nose of your second Tanzanian buff.

Yeah, those Masai buffalo are nasty sods! I notice there was also a .577 standing by to give you a helping hand though

Neil-PHBosses rule !! Remember seeing a real old dagga boy, years ago after opening the Binga area on the shores of Lake Kariba. I wish we had digital photography available then as I never did see the old boy again.
Spread wasn't more than 20" - both left and right side had been broken, and his bosses would have been bigger than his width !!!! A true german helmet - what a trophy he would have made.

Mike,
That's the one that almost got me in trouble with the trigger disconnecting. Got it fixed now. Wayne took care of me with a new trigger! 416 Rigby.

Here is one with big bosses. I can't seem to find the other pictures.

gerrybGreat buff Larry
06 September 2012, 02:41
larryshoresThose are actually 2 different buff.
I shot the first in 2003. I am told the bosses were over 20 inches although I never measured them myself.
I shot the second one last year on Sango (where I will be headed in 3.5 weeks). It had 18.5 inch bosses. It was a massive old bull in terms of body size.

Dead Eyeunbelievable guys. A 20" boss?? well that was a short thread!!!

This is a picture that Ernest Dyason of Spear Safaris sent to me a year or two ago. I don't know who the hunter is, but he was guided by Koos Moulder of Spear. Bosses are 18"+.
06 September 2012, 20:29
DLSHere are a couple live bulls with nice bosses...
I know, the bosses on this second bull don't look as impressive as his spread, but he still has very nice bosses. I photographed both of these bulls in 2009.

fairgameGreat thread and good to see that many are taking buffalo for other reasons than the spread.

PulicordsI hope this fellow qualifies. I just returned from the Selous yesterday, where I had the distinct pleasure of meeting him on my first trip to Africa. I'll post details when I've recovered a bit more from the jet lag, but before then, I'd like to thank AR's Ernest for being there when I needed him!

FjoldHere's the boss on my bull, nothing compared to some of the helmet heads already posted but I'm happy with it.

bwanamrmA few of mine...
A Masailand bull from 2003
My best bull to date shot with Martin Pieters in the Omay North in 2009.
Another nice Omay North bull from 2011.
A Luangwa Valley bull from Zambia back in 2006.
On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
