Of the three Cape Buffalo I've hunted, all had a complete set of horns. I honestly wouldn't want a scrum cap bull, but I also don't blame anyone else that would want one. My last bull in Zimbabwe was estimated at 14 years old, and had a full set of horns, very worn bosses, and only a 36" spread. I was quite happy with him, even though it didn't make the magical 40" mark. I kind of look at it in terms of deer hunting. If I paid to go on an expensive deer hunt, would I shoot a buck with broken antlers, just because he's old? No I wouldn't. Although I do realize that a deer can grow his antlers back, it's still highly unlikely that I'd be the one shooting him next year. But to each their own, and I respect anyone who hunts whatever bull they deem a trophy to them.
