I have a mature bull buffalo question...

[TOBY458]

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.

Eish.....what did you end up getting?

One caveat: I want to know that my "trophy" is old enough to have had opportunity to breed AND PASS ON THOSE GOOD GENETIC TRAITS. That usually is minimum hard boss--NOT an admirably spread soft bossed buff.

I'd want a buffalo with two horns and a steak that's rare as fuck hahaha

@RMC
Sound like you like your steak like my dad did.
Chucked on, chucked over and chucked on the plate. If it still bleeds but doesn't moo its just right.
I like mine medium rare.

I like the character of the boss/horns on this one I shot last August.

Yep, seems like the older I get the more I like the blood. Definitely nothing wrong with a good medium rare steak though. Still lots of flavor, half the time I over cook mine and end up eating it medium hahaha
