John ChalmersGreat 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.

Neither would I!

However, I would like to meet him in daylight while holding an appropriate caliber rifle and a license!

eagle27Just 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

Fantastic photos.
This buffalo beats the hell out of all the young bulls that score high in the SCI record book

subsailor74As 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!

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

Fallow BuckI don't like that leopard in the second picture. He has more chins than I do!!

That buff looks like he hates you from the old neighborhood! Awesome.

NakihunterFantastic 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!

Thunder HeadIll 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.
