Great photos Saeed, How old do you believe the Buffalo to be. Unlike most on here I would hate to meet up with him on a dark night. Big Grin jc

One cannot cure:

Stupidity – nothing helps! Anti hunting sentiments – nothing helps! Put-‘n-Take Outfitters – money rules!


My very long ago ancestors needed and loved to eat meat. Today I still hunt!

Just posted in Mikes survey on overrated animals in Africa to hunt and the buffalo above epitomises the one I would love to hunt.
By the looks of it's bloodshot eye it's been up all night on the town Big Grin

As Robert Ruark said so eloquently "the African buffalo looks at you like he hates you personally....he looks at you like you owe him money"
This old Dagga Boy epitomizes Ruark's words.

That "Mike Tyson" quality leopard (no neck) is also a stunner!

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I love worn down tips and ragged ears.

If the taxidermist can just make that old buff look just like for a shoulder mount.

Fantastic animals.

If I got a buffalo like that I would seriously consider the extra taxidermy cost! I wonder what he has been drinking!

Great leopard too!

Ill steal a quote from a Zim. PH

Bloody hell that's a proper buffalo!


I have walked in the foot prints of the elephant, listened to lion roar and met the buffalo on his turf. I shall never be the same.
