Best Answer

yes

EDIT:

They are not hollow while they are alive, they are filled with 'living bone' which means that the bone will dry up and decay (like tissue or cartilage) leaving a hollow horn after the animals death.

Are you referring to the Cape and Asian buffalo? If you are, yes it would hurt to get their horns off because there are nerves and blood vessels in those horns. If you are referring to the American bison, no because they are hollow and do not have nearly as many blood vessels or nerves supplying such horns as domestic cattle and cape and asian buffalo do.
