Nice buffalo.
For those not familiar with South Africa buffalo operations, the fantastic bull in the 3rd picture is one of the land owner’s breeding bulls and won’t get shot anytime soon. He’s in the prime of his life, probably 9 years old and will be spreading his genes throughout that herd for a few more years before the land owner lets anyone shoot him.
He has exceptional genetics that remind me of the famous Kenyan buffalo named Thunder, who died earlier this year. Captive or truly wild, buffalo like this bull don’t come along very often.

That bull can be shoot anytime. You may be right for 90% of south africa but not this place. The herd is 350 animals of males and females no one breeder bull in the herd. The best bull that day is the breeder. You should comment on the places you know not the ones you have no clue on. If it is a hard boss bull it can be hunted on this area. The only difference is first bull is 8500 3rd bull is 12000. Landowner charges ph more for bulls over 40".

Bill, your panties are a little tight, calm down.
If that landowner would allow that bull to be shot, #1 he’s an extremely rare South African. Not 10% but more like 1%. #2, at that price that bull would almost certainly be dead already as there are a lot of people who’d pay that in a heartbeat to have such a bull.

No tight at all just not a fan of people talking about what they dont know. It is amazing you must have hunted with 1000's of SA Ph and all the areas over there. Two hunters I took with me last year both took buff that size one of 44 and other 46 at another place though. Those buff were not in the same herd this is on this new area. The one in picture is alive because there are more than one like that in the herd and he is just at the age now where he will be a target coming up if seen.
There are so many big bulls in SA now they need to be bigger than the one in the picture to just be a breeder.
I know you think you know so much but don't post what you think is correct on a post of mine that you have no idea what you're talking about. You may be right for a lot of SA but here you were wrong

he is wider then most bulls and will be a great one in a few years. wide means nothing score wise on kudu you just want nice deep curls to get the inches. I just like kudu score means nothing really to me but to some it does. there just dam fun to hunt
