Wonderful pics too! Yes Sir, I would say that is the average size on a mature bull. We have taken bigger bodied bulls than this. What I particularly enjoy about this old boy, is how broomed his horns are. Always very satisfying getting these type of bulls. Here is Nyamazana Safaris from Zimbabwe that hunted this bull with us during 2015.

Thanks Marius,like the broomed down horns also. Does that bull have a bit of blue on his shoulders also? Seen one in South Africa 20 years ago that had blue on the shoulders,which I believe to be an old bull.
Dang,that is a huge neck on him!

Second and third ones, What is that? I'm not as sophisticated as some folks here on the different animals. Thanks

Thank you. What I thought but the different horns had me confused.
