Hi RP, This auntie has quite a wide horn spread but in the same time not quite in the MEGA class, give her another 3 or 4 lion free years and she will be there.

Could all browsing this thread please carefully scan those large herds in KNP for big buff, they are there !

Northern Botswana especially, is also a good area and within easy reach of us here in the good old RSA.

Below is another really big buff from internet, I estimate her in the mid fifties class. The search I did to find her was about lodges in the Masai Mara but there was no clear ID of the photographer - so, thanks to him/her for having this excelant photo shared on internet.

Hi Flutterby, Thanks for correcting me - the buff on the photo is most likely a female ! \O
