Hunting cape buffalo cows?
03/05/06 01:15 PM

Has anyone here hunted cape buffalo cows or had friends who have done so?

When I was in Zim in 2002 I was offered a cape buffalo cow as a subsititute for a bull as we were having some problems finding one. Of course I was only interested in taking a bull not having hunted one before.

In 1994 I stayed on a farm (hunting) where a cape buffalo was mounted above a fireplace in the outside dining area. Another PH commented on it to the PH we were hunting with and then he replied in Sindebele to the guy. He told us later he told the PH the cape buffalo "bull" mount was actually a cow which is why he switched language, and the turkey didn't even know this before being told.

I am wondering if given the opportunity on a cow elephant hunt if a cow buffalo could be taken. I think asking for a bull would result in a whole new hunt being asked for or be too expensive. But a cow might be considered at a reasonable price. A simple skull mount would be nice on the wall. And I would consider having the hide made into several gun slips/cases in Bulawayo.

What do you think?
