This is a young buffalo I shot with a bow while hunting for wildebeest from a blind. It was a mercy killing at a huge discount. The buffalo had a broken rear leg, was obviously loosing weight, limped badly, had trouble keeping up with the herd, and most certainly would have died soon. It's not a huge dugga boy, but it had nice bosses for it's young age, the outside spread is 34 2/8", and the SCI total score is 101 6/8".

Assistant PH with the biggest bossed bull I’ve shot. He’s 6’3” and that buff is 42” wide to give you an idea how big the bosses are.
 
Jeff Eder a member here on AH's wife Sue got some very nice pics of a few of the buffalo on our 10 000 acre property

Tsala Hunting Safaris: Great Pics on the Buffs! I see myself visiting you all as it’s still my favorite hunt
 
It has to be one of the tightest “scrum caps” I have seen to come out of the Matestsi region in Zimbabwe.
 
spending a few thousand dollars in trophy fee for this shows real passion for hunting (y)
PLUS a few thousand $ more for taxidermy fee, shoulder mounting it.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
