Chattaronga buff

A colleague forwarded this pic. width was 58" and 11" boss width, though i am not sure how they measured the latter.

I believe Chattaronga is in Zim???

Prefer the hard and deep bossed bulls we have been seeing lately from Zim.

I've seen this buffalo before. It was shot on a game farm (named Chattaronga) in Limpopo province not far from alldays by an australian hunter.

The farmer told me the bull had his testicles injured thats the reason why he got the spread.

As to my knowledge 'Chattaronga' is a ranch in the Limpopo Province of South Africa, and this bull had some under-develop (suppose to be a breeding bull) testicles and was hunted by Jason Stone Safaris...

Almost guarantees it to be a canned buffalo then!

I find it hard to believe he has 11 inch bosses. He reminds me of some of the steer or sub fertile water buffalo that grow those extremely long, thin and wide flaring horns.

Please correct me if im wrong, but i think this buff was shot by an A.S.J.D Murray, same guy who shot the 100 000$ buff.

He has a very extensive list of records on the Stone hunting safari website!

The farmer told me the "hunter" was from australia, don't know his name.
This is not the kind of "hunting" I'm interested in.

well, at least it didn't cost the GWH 18 million rand! a really fine soft boss bossed bull/cow. man, i wish i could afford a nice game farm buffalo hunt in RSA----NOT!!!. i would rather shoot a cow in Zim than this example of dangerous game hunting. HOW BIG WAS THE PASTURE??

I'm moving to Chattanooga, TN, but I've never seen a cow like that in the area.

I have shot a couple of bulls that look very much like the above.

In that they have reltively wide, narrow horns, with no boss at all.

They might be the queer lot of the buffalo family.

Or to be more in tune of modern times, may be I should say they might bay the "gay lot of the buffalo family" just to be more PC
