Good man JorgeI ! This poor thing is still wet behind the ears! Give him a chance to grow up guys! When there's no more hair tuft between the boss he'll be ready. Til then give him time to sow his oats!!

Somehow they all seem better looking once they have stopped bleeding on the back of my truck.

![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v703/utah708/DSCN0978.jpg) Photos my wife took a couple of weeks ago--looks like a good one to me. That's a green buffalo. This is more like it: ![[Linked Image]](http://www.john-sharp-safaris.com/gallry05/small/rudi-2-007.jpg) JorgeI, Pardon my ignorance, will the "green" one's horns' deep curls eventually wear to match the old boy you show in your picture?

I haven't hunted with any PH who would let somebody shoot that bull in "wild" Africa. Most consider a hard boss more of a trophy than score or spread.
Did go along as an observer on a couple of fenced buffalo hunts in South Africa. The hunters each took soft-bossed bulls, allowing hard-bossed breeder bulls to keep producing calves. One of the soft-bossed bulls was 40".

Just to be a contrarian, even without the boss issue, I don't think he is that great, although many (most) would be happy with him. I'd like another view. If in doubt, shoot him and then go find a bigger one. First day bull versus last day bull? You guys know better than that.

He is not quite a Dugga-boy yet, but will be in a couple of years. Pass and let him grow. I passed on two bulls that were better this past May.

First day bull versus last day bull? You guys know better than that. Agree fully. This is still a young bull, and just because its the last day, does not warrant him a shooter. If its not a shooter, its not a shooter, no matter when you look at him. Give him some time.

Why not just frame the pictures and call it a good photo op? If you're close enough with a camera you were close enough to have bagged him.

If on the first day, no.
If on the last day, maybe, if I was not coming back there.
Also depends on how the rest of the safari went. If I had a good bag, probably not. You have to look at him on the wall for too long.
Shooting old men is more rewarding.
When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.
