A very impressive old buffalo cow with unusual drooping horns.

Trophy buffalo don’t get a lot more impressive than this one. Extremely heavy horns and a spread of 48 inches, you can hunt long and hard and not beat this old bull. He doesn’t quite make 100SCI, but his width and mass make for a better trophy. Sometimes the record book doesn’t matter. Jason Volmer, USA took this great bull in March with a 9.3×74 double rifle.

My 470 NE Verney Carron double rifle. It is a beautifully made French rifle that shoots well.

-
Mr Frawley, Australia with a huge floodplain bull at Carmor Plains. Kevin is not a small guy, but check out how big this bull is in the neck and shoulders! The horns don’t look that long… because they are immensely thick and the bulls body size makes them look smaller. This is one hell of a bull.
-
Another massive floodplain bull at Carmor Plains. Taken by Mr Murray, USA
-
Another huge bull taken at Carmor Plains by Mr Reed, USA. Australian Water Buffalo are substantially larger than the African Cape Buffalo…. at half the price!” >
