I have killed three buff and one was a cow. The hunt is the same. Picking an old cow to shoot from the herd isn't unlike finding the right bull, though there are many more old cow canidates.

I was offered the cow since we were cat hunting and a cow makes as much bait as a truck full of impala, thus is time efficient, and makes a better lion bait.

I was told that my outfitter, Roger Whittall Safaris, reserves their cow quota for cat hunters. But toward the end of the season lots of things seem to come available. If you are hunting late perhaps you can pick up a bull for just the trophy fee, maybe even another tuskless. But you may not be able to do this in advance. Animals that I hunted that were unplanned in advance included two tuskless, a lion (saw no shooter), a hyhena (great fun to hunt over bait) and a chobie bushbuck.

Trophy fee for the cow was $800 as I recall.
