Rigby Dagga Boy Award up for grabs

STAFF REPORTER
Hunters from all over the world are invited to participate in the Rigby Dagga Boy Award. The goal remains clear: to promote ethical hunting practices and contribute valuable scientific data on African buffalo populations. In the spirit of conservation and responsible hunting, the emphasis is on the significance of a buffalo’s age over mere trophy measurements, thereby fostering a healthier, more robust buffalo population across the African continent.

No cows from any buffalo species are eligible, only bulls that have surpassed breeding age.

Bulls must come from self-sustaining herds and be hunted in an ethical, fair chase, track, walk-and-stalk manner. The term 'wild and free-ranging' signifies that these buffalo populations depend solely on their natural environment for sustenance.

Hunters can share their entries electronically by emailing a detailed hunt report, along with photos of qualifying buffalo bulls taken from January 2022 up to the end of the 2024 hunting season, to [email protected].
