Are cape buffalo edible?

[safari007]

Much of the meat from older trophy animals is used to make biltong (like our beef jerky). The natives eat the intestines( like our chitterlings) the liver, heart, etc. The meat is used by the ranch owner, the trackers and the local community.

The rancher I hunted with in May in Namibia was a member of a Rancher's Co-Op. Each farmer is responsible for providing meat to the local old folks home each month. Fortunately, it was his month for providing the meat, so I donated the meat from the 2 springbok I shot to the home.

The hunter gets the hide and horns and the rancher gets the meat to dispose of at his discretion. You can have any of the meat to eat while you are there. We had it at every meal. I liked the gemsbok and springbok the most.
