I'm sure this was covered before, but I've just finished reading a post by HT and then clicked on the following urlat the bottom of his post. http://im1.shutterfly.com/procserv/47b4d700b3127cceb75bacf6436c0000004610 This is what my ideal buffalo trophy should look like. Yes, I've seen bigger. Even seen some much bigger horns. But none better! Not by a long shot. Congrats HT! You have now set the standard to which I personally aspire in my future buffalo hunting.

Lots of character, and from the point of view of sustaining long term trophy quality, absolutely ideal. - mike ********************* The rifle is a noble weapon... It entices its bearer into primeval forests, into mountains and deserts untenanted by man. - Horace Kephart | |||

Yep. That's my idea of the perfect Cape buffalo trophy alright. To he11 with the record book. Character is where it's at. Congratulations on a fine animal. A real dugga boy! THE LUCKIEST HUNTER ALIVE! | |||

You're right that is a cool buffalo. A ton of charater and I'll bet the attitude to go with it. This one is at the taxidermist right now. Although it doesn't have nearly the character of Greg's (HT), it is missing a bunch of big chunks out of his boss. This post got me thinking I better call to make sure the taxidermist doesn't do something crazy like "fix them".

I would not have to look that one over for more than a second. Those ancient bulls are real trophies. MARK H.

Terry, I have heard of people and their pets resembling each other, but never, until now, a hunter and his buffalo.  Perry | |||

So much for the 'bosses touching' being an indication of maturity. These old codgers still have gaps, but make great trophies. Can anyone estimate how long it would take to get character like this? 10-12 yrs?? | |||

Perry, you are right, a startling resemblance!  ~Ann | |||

If you will notice, the buffalo has almost no hair. If I wasn't wearing a cap, you would see just how much that buffalo and I have in common.  Regards, Terry Msasi haogopi mwiba [A hunter is not afraid of thorns] | |||
