You could get that one a new 'do' and he could pass for a Lord derby...

Neither, really. For me, it's an old timer with heavy but tip worn horn's. No preference on the mop. Above all that, hunted via following tracks on foot.

Not part of the question, gentleman. We all advocate fair chase hunting.
What part of the Eland do you consider a bigger part of the trophy. The horn length, or the mop?
Would you rather take a 40" bull or a 30" worn down bull that looks like Elvis?

I can't decide. I love the look of both horn length and mop. Looking at the photos, it looks as though some have both. Really nice mop and great horn length. I once saw a pic of Eva Shocky with an old, massive "blue bull" that looked like the horns were only about 18" out of the head and worn down like the end of a baseball bat. I think that's beautiful also.

Yeah Woods, I agree. Worn down animal like that for me thanks, absolutely. No chance you could find that photo and post it here?

Here's another one I just found in my past photos:
