The first picture is a 45" Buffalo take by my stepson in Tanz in 2005 and the second is a 38" taken by me in Zim in 1998. My wife is at our other computer where I have some photos of buffalo we saw at Kruger this, oops, last year. I'll try and post some of those old boys. Kudude   | |||

September 2006 Zimbabwe Matetsi Unit 2. 38" spread; taken out of a group of 5 dagga boys; shot at 20 yards with a .470NE. Here's one we saw a couple of days later.

Ann, That mount was done by Roy Hayes Taxidermy in Taarkastad, RSA. The story of getting the trophies from Zim to RSA would be a novel, but after two years plus they pitched up here in Tallahassee. Kudude | |||

Gwayi Valley, Khana Plot Zimbabwe 2001 Stainless Mod 70, cut to 20 inches for crawling through the under bush. 1 300 grn Barnes X high in the shoulder and thorugh the spine. Collapsed at the shot. One insurance solid between the shoulder blades. Gee no running gun battle.  Mike Legistine actu quod scripsi? Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||

When I get enough pennies saved to go, I would love to get one like the bottom one, however I think the top one is ideal. Wide but not perfect with the rubbed off right horn tip. | |||

This isn't what lots of folks would consider a trophy buffalo, but it weighed 50 kilos more than any taken at Kazinga concession in Burkina Faso in 29 years of operation. It's a Western Savannah Buffalo. There are particularly ill-tempered animals. The staff went absolutle nuts when we brought it back for processing. The ancient fellow had quite the reputation for avoiding bullets, and I just happened to be the lucky hunter to get the old, old boy. I guess that the elderly dude was left-handed because he had worn the horn on that side to about nothing. In West Africa, it was a trophy of a lifetime.  JudgeG ... just counting time 'til I am again finding balm in Gilead chilled out somewhere in the Selous. | |||

Love the pics! Here's two with Russ Broom in Binga 2002. Top buff was in poor condition. His left horn has a big gouge across the center and his teeth are bald. 35" x 14" Second buff, my partner's, is a BULL! 43" wide and iirc 19" bosses. A true standout.  | |||
