Researcher Carl Huchzermeyer who resides in the Bangweulu swamps sent me this picture of a young bull with exceptional horns. AR's Faisal and I convinced Carl to remove buffalo from quota for a couple of years to allow such Buffalo to breed and mature. Faisal took a very nice bull in 2015 but they were few and far between.

Faisal's buff. Just a good solid buff and the hunting was very fine indeed.

Andrew,

In a herd like that what is the "usual" breakdown of breeding-age bulls to cows, and how many of those bulls actively breed?

Very nice young bull, indeed. 42"?


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.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

Faisal and I had a good look at this one and he looked 45 maybe a tad more.

By all accounts in this herd there are about 6 bulls that are actively breeding but typically the females want the more dominant and bigger bulls.

It sounds like this herd needs to grow exponentially before it really becomes a viable hunting area for buffalo.

I have read however that the black lechwe population has really bounced back?
