Another great buffalo - PICS
Had the chance for a quick one nighter in Tarangire Park the other weekend and snapped a couple of pics of a great buffalo. The genetics here never seize to amaze me.

Yup, I'd shoot that. Love his drop. I can't tell if the bull behind him in the second pic has a hard boss but he looks huge from the angle he is at.

Look at the one on the left behind the tree. Look at those curls!

Saw a cow there a few years ago that had to be pushing 50 inches. Unfortunately by the time I got the camera out she was gone.

All three are great & I would like to see the boss of the one at the back left with the huge curls!

I'll be just a bit east of there in March and hope to run across him. As for the one behind the tree, he looks a bit young to me, but definitely has potential.

The one behind is a bit young IMHO and I would probably hold out on him. Many PHs would shoot it and nothing wrong with that.

The one on the left is definetely still young with soft bosses. Impressive curls - they often have in that age set.
