Here are a few old articles about hunting the cape buffalo. The cape buffalo today is the most common of the big five to hunt
AND prices are falling due to the economy. The down side is since they are so heavily hunted the trophy quality is falling
in many areas. 10-15 years ago one could have a good chance at a 40+" buff. Now, many PHs are advertising mid-30s buff with
a solid boss. The buff I shot with my .600 in September of 2008 was 34 inches. Not wide but with good a good boss and thick
horns. To give credit, the articles here are:
