Ok so I shot a huge 1800# water buffalo with my bow. I was very fortunate to have hit him in the heart and he expired very quickly with only one shot. I was told he may be a new
world record but I haven't a clue. he scores 112" total. His horns were 43"
long. a monster. anyone have at idea about the record? I absolutely don't do this for "records" but am obviously now curious.

He does look huge. What measurements did you take to come up with a total of 112? There would be four measurements for each horn, over all horn length following the outside curve of the horns, around the base next to the skull, a circumference at a point 1/4 the distance along the overall horn length, a circumference at a point 1/2 the distance along the overall horn length and a circumference at a point 3/4 the distance along the overall horn length.

If the overall horn length is 43 inches as you state then he should be bigger than 112.

we only did 4 measurements total. the length on each side and each base

records of exotics shows last years #1 to be 97" I think.

SCI shows just over 110 at #1 don't know if that's current. Great buffalo. Congrats

there's probably another 35" then...close to 140"?! wowzers.

Congrats nice buff

Definitely one of the biggest bulls I've seen come out of Texas!! Awesome!!

Never heard of that....most scoring methods only use length and base measurements for horned animals. What method are you referring to?

and with a bow!!!!! Good job

Length of horn, circumfrance of horn at base. That's it.

At the end of the day it doesn't matter if it is a world record or a personal record. It's nice that you spent time in the outdoors with your son.

thanks guys. yeah I am no record chaser. I didn't have a clue about even scoring this type of animal. memories for sure.

Congrats, great animal, especially with a bow, nice shot!

Hey guys if you score it TGR it's the length of the horn plus 4 mass measurements. You take the length of the horn and divide it by 4 to see where you take the 2nd,3rd,4th mass measurement.

I know it's different then all of the other scoring n methods. You actually score in centimeters as well

this, i would enter it just to have the plaque and memories with the boy with the mount, congrats to the both of you.

Great animal

Awesome bow kill..congrat's on a huge bull.

Very nice bull. Mind telling what you used? Draw Weight, Arrow Weight, Broadhead? How long was your shot?

Mathews z7. Draw weight 55lbs. Easton axis 500 arrow. Interloc falcon broad heads. Shot was 32 yards. The set up seems way light I know. But I've taken all sorts of animals including this 1800lb bill and had no issues. I think it's more about shot placement. Just my view.

Here is the entrance

Well it's a new record! 116 1/8! Pretty cool!!

Awesome! Congrats on the record and thanks for the information. Nice bullet hole entry. I'm planning a Bison hunt in British Columbia next fall so was interested in your setup.

Never really had and urge to hunt those badboys but that is an awesome animal and I would be more than proud of that monster. Congratulations!!

Te bisons ribs are spread out a good amount. You should have no problem regardless of your set up.

Great shot non the less, i was hoping you would get him with the bow. Great job and congrats to the both of yall
