Buffalo Lost His Horn

[Firebird]

Someone sent this to me from-I believe an Instagram post called natureismetal. I assume he got busted off in a fight but the blood still squirting from his horn is fascinating.

Also I don’t think it was the tick bird that did it-

Looks like he got his a$$ kicked. LOL!!!!!

[Brent in Az]

I feel for that old bush warrior. That's gotta hurt!

 

[Firebird]

I’d like to see the other guy- that did it to him

Wow! Thanks for sharing

Poor old buggar. If he survives and it heals he will make a great trophy.

I bet that was one heck of a fight. Awesome photo!

WOW not so sure he wasn’t hit by a truck

 

[Firebird]

I wondered about a truck hitting him or maybe him slamming into a truck-

Poor old buggar. If he survives and it heals he will make a great trophy.

Anyone have an idea of his chances for survival?

 

[Kevin Peacocke]

Not sure, but this old veteran from the Rigby site shows the healing process, the bone protrudes. What a trophy! There is a wonderful write up on this very hunt, I cant find it for you, but search Rigby.

Wow... Now that is incredible.

I've seen cows get horns knocked off like that and they bled just like that. They eventually clotted up and were fine . Gotta take a lot of force to break a buffs horn!!

Remember in HATARI when the buff charges their jeep, knocks it back about 4 feet! No horn damage. And I think it was actually a cow judging by the thin horns.
