Re: THE ALL-AFRICA OLDEST AND UGLIEST BUFFALO CONTEST

I agree with Cazadero. The point is that it should be all about the hunt, not the size of trophy. A lot of the good looking 'trophy' bulls are young and of breeding age, so any conservation-minded hunter should be aware of this fact. The lore of buffalo hunting has always been about seeking out lone dugga boys anyway, but SCI et al don't recognise this fact in their scoring methodology which has encouraged the pursuit of horn length over any other merit, particularly age. If there wasn't a conservation problem, then such initiatives would not be necessary. Good on Charlton McCallum safaris for initiating this and to and Kevin Robertson for backing it publicly...
