The buffalo measured 49 6/8 spread (14+ bosses) and a total SCI score of 134 even. This was after boiling but before the required waiting period of 60 days making it the 4th highest scoring buffalo from Tanzania recorded in the record book  This picture shows it next to a 43 and 44 inch buff taken on the same safari.   Lion 1: He was seen by the camp manager busy confronting another male.   Lion 2: Seen in the neighbouring concession by the camp manager.  The 2 lions were subsequentlty taken by clients several weeks after the pics were taken. "...Them, they were Giants!" J.A.

gwhjack Most definitely! My guess would be Maswa or maybe Monduli with TGT since there is a picture of Doug McNiel who guides for TGT. Bwanamich Wow on the lions and that buff! Where were they?

Amazing bull buffalo! Thanks for posting these terrific photos. How anyone could think that big bull is too young is beyond me. Hard bosses and heavy, swept, worn-smooth and broomed horns like those are not found on youngsters. I don't hold myself out as an expert on buffalo, but that bull is way past old enough and has doubtless passed his wonderful genes on to many a calf. Congrats to Doug McNeil and the hunter! Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

I have never seen a 43" Buffalo look so tiny. That thing is an absolute toad. That is a mature Buffalo. The boiled skull proves it. | |||

I'm hunting anything that walks. Fifteen days at Maswa and fifteen at Ugalla. MMP | |||

Yeah! The boiled skull doesn't loose anything! The bull's bosses just weren't ever ment to touch. What mass! Good luck mufasa and I look forward to a lengthy hunting report!

That is an INSANE buffalo. Most of us don't even dream of buffalo that big. The danger of civilization, of course, is that you will piss away your life on nonsense | |||

That Bull is way too young. Hell his bosses aren't even worn smooth. To use the oft repeated quote of one of our experts: "Imagine how good he would have been in a couple more years."  (The mean that I am kidding.)Jason Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||

Hey OZHunter, let's you and I do a 2 on 1 safari with three buffalo each! All the buffalo we see that are small/young like that one and you turn down, I'll pay the trophy fee, and I'll take your culls!  ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith  | |||

Now that was funny, Steve! That buff is unbelievable!!! A "once in several lifetimes" trophy... wow. 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.

Yes, those had to be from Maswa, which is TGT's best concession for big buf. The Friedkin's reserve that place for the month of July every year. Sounds like a great hunt. | |||
