1JDaniel,
That Buff is now dead, died of old age last year and the horns were recovered...Was with the same bunch pictured in the park bordering the Masai Steepe..Some nice big boys in that area...

Trade winds that is some kind a bull, He is young and certainly mature. Hope he inpregnated a lot of cows before his demise as he is about as good as they get IMO, congratulations....

I have some Pictures of some absolutly monsterious bulls in my scrap book that we have killed over a score of years, I will have them at SCI in Dallas this year. Unfortunately I have not the where to fore to put a picture on this machine then also put it on AR, I was not borned to this century and for that I am grateful!

Those are some fine looking animals. The one below in my signature was photographed by myself in the Kruger in 2002. While not as long in the horn as the monsters you've shown, he has a great skull cap.

Take note that JB little Buffalo is not a cape buffalo but one of those little mean bastards from way up North in or aroun the CAR..

The Red Dwarf buffalo...These little buggers will charge just for intertainment, not need to arouse them, they stay that way, and I have been charged on sight by them three times in one day, which was quit disturbing inasmuch as I had no gun and was just looking over a concession...Albiet they had been hammered by poachers and that makes buff mean, but they still tend to be much meaner than cape buffalo IMO.....

JD,
Here is another photo of the skull of that bull; bull died (apparently of natural causes ) in 2000 in the Lake Manyara National Park. It is supposed to be gracing the walls of the HQ of the National Parks.




Tradewinds;
That bull was taken in Simanjiro concession (Eastern Tarangire) in 2001, PH Jose L. Tavares (Luke Samaras safaris) and is for me one of the best bulls anyone can hope for. He measured a tad over 51" spread. But what depth, curl, boss and tips

Bwanamich,



As you probably know, that's a picture of Fred Rademeyer. His business card has this picture on the front!



Do you know if he and Carol are still working in Tanzania?
