I had planned to go on my first Cape Buffalo hunt in 2016. Flights booked and deposit made. Now due to economic issues I will not be able to afford a Cape Buffalo hunt this year (possibly ever). I am not getting younger and the joints hurt more each year.
This question is for those that have been dreaming of a Cape Buffalo hunt for years, but never have.
If you were in my shoes would you 1) hold off and hope that things will get better in the future and you are still physically able, or 2) do a Cape Buffalo cow hunt? From a difficulty stand point it seems the females of the herd animals I have hunted would have been as difficult to the males. The trophy is secondary to me.
