I have been fortunate to have always killed very old and hard bossed cape buff.

On my second Safari my PH and I snuck up on 2 buff with over 42 inch horns. We were at point blank range, I had 2 buff on quota... But Dale Des Fountain [the PH] said they were both "soft".

We snuck away.

I later killed a real Monster in body and horn.

However any decent cape buff, properly stalked and shot is a trophy, IMHO.

To go all the way to AFRICA, and pass on a buff because of an inch or two, is silly IMHO.

After you have killed two or so then if you want to get picky then do so...

But do not judge another mans buff baised on your thoughts.

As long as it is not a "Dink" what should you care.

PS for me I do not care what my buff scores, as long as it looks like a CAPE BUFF.

I was at a friends house, he had 2 buffs mounted in his main trophy room.

I asked him, if they were standing side by side, which one he would shoot first.

He replied the one on the left, as it scored the highest.

Funny thing is, I would have shot the one on the left, no questions asked, as it looked most like "Buff" to me.

He too said "It looks then best", but does not score as high...

I do not get caught up too much in score... what matters to me is the quality/fun of the hunt, and how the trophy looks to me.
