It is eaten by locals and the hunting crew,as well as the hunter. They eat the hunter, too? Butch, please pass on my congratulations to the hunter. Great buffalo! Ed Depends,if he misses a lot or not.

Great buff. Awesome bosses. Congrats! I agree. That is one awesome Cape Buffalo. Those bosses are great.I didn't even know that you could hunt buffalo with anything less than 375 H&H. Congratulation and nice job. donsm70 Don, Technically, you are not supposed to, but as a target of opportunity while carrying another rifle, the PH may allow you to take the shot. Also, sometimes if the hunter has a disability, such as a messed up shoulder and can't shoot the big boomers, they may let you hunt with what you can handle. Not much policing of these "rules" in Africa typically.

Wow! You sure he didn't use a .270?.
