Good luck hunting in Tsavo

But I too agree that a hunt in Tsavo would be something to cry for.......

Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.

Too young¿? I think he is a taker. But I imagine
his boss is not solid enough. Lucky him I was not arround with my 416.

Yep and I sure hope he holds steadier than that when he takes a shot.

Gotta admit he looks odd, kinda like the old bull on Roger Raglin's old blackpowder video. I like the looks of the whopper in Daktari's book tho...

Will his boss get bigger as he gets older? I hate a narrow boss on cape buffalo. I can get flat narrow horns from the Water buffalo. A cape buffalo's character is so much based on a big boss & deep hooks apart from spread.....JMHO.

Superb buffalo... one hopes he dodges lions and other predators to spread his genes and eventually falls to a lucky hunter when he is in his last years! As an aside did the guy on the video call his horns antlers or was I mistaken....

On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...

Someone ought to dart that thing and put him in a breeding farm. Definitely too young to shoot and, to be honest, I find the horns almost grotesque, they're so long. Give me a boss down to the eyebrows and heavily broomed tips any day.

The one that was with him looked good also. Too wide for me, I want a bit of dip and curl. I hope I get to hunt them one day.
