But... it's what I have. I am EXTREMELY happy with this buffalo; it was easily one of my favorite hunts ever. SOOO much fun. A lot of miles and tracking ending with an irritated 1300 pound cow and a 45 yard frontal shot, as she sized us up and debated what to do about us. And we were in the sticks... it was super thick with pokey stuff; the photo on the left is on the back of the ravine, where she fell.A cow can be just as dangerous and exciting to hunt as a bull. Besides, the world record is a cow!Maybe it's a form of heresy to show a cow on this thread.But... it's what I have.

That sir, is a most excellent trophy. Congratulations.
Sadly yes... the 505 was a retirement present..Alos shot a Tuskless and a Bush Pig with the 505 I need a rainy day and post a hunt report sorryFantastic old warrior. Congrats! I’m guessing that Raptor really impressed him. I guess the Gibbs .450 got left home this trip?
He looks magnificentThis is my one and only Cape buffalo so far. He may not be the biggest but I am very proud of this old dagga trophy animal. I harvested him with my bow this July.
