Re: Judging Buffalo

A 116 SCI scoring buffalo would have to be one of the best for the year.

A 100 SCI buffalo is quite possible and in an area like Matt Graham's - Hunt Australia - camp at Gan Gan on the coast of Arnhemland you would have a very good chance at a 100+ water buffalo. When I hunted there all of the buffalo I saw were the 'crescent' shaped horned buffalo, except for one old scarred warrior who stood us off. He was more of the 'sweeper' shape than is typical for that area. His horns were old, scarred and 'broomed' off at the tips. So probably scored less because of that but would have made a fine trophy. I did not take him as he was one of the first buffalo we saw, on the first morning of hunting. In any case I am more than happy with what I ended up with.



This buffalo measured 106 inches scored by adding the outside of the horns plus the two circumferences of the bases of each horn. I do not know the individual measurements as I never measured him, and he is STILL (!!!) with the taxidermist even though taken in 2004!
