hunter I had with me did not want to spend the money on the trophy fee. I just about said I would loan it to him. However I know plenty of guys who would love to have the chance at him next year when our season begins again. We are done hunting for this year and this big bull will be waiting for us! Any guesses as to how big this bruiser will be? ![[Linked Image]](http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid71/p7f64ee4f5b22bf14d0a4c94d61c8e92b/fb8a9101.jpg)

I'll take him! We'll be there on your first trip back next year.

JJ arn't the bulls 5 ft at the shoulder? I would guess the horns at least 60. tom

OH MY! I would guess him at 59 on his right side and 57 on his left. Either way, a definite trophy book animal. Flinch

Wow - talk about timing! I just finished re-reading (read it many years ago but took it out for a plane trip I had recently) the Green Hills of Africa and Hemmingway's quest for the tandala. That book along with your picture really has me very tempted to try to plan a trip to Africa.
No guess on the size, but that is one beautiful animal.

Tough to judge from the picture Hack, but he does have nice, tight, full curls. Since you saw him and say he's big, he's gotta go at least in the mid 50s to hazard a guess. jorge

Nice bull! I took one in Namibia a few years ago almost identical to this one. Good length, fairly tight curl. I would guess average of the two horns at 58",
left possibly an inch or so longer than the right.
I'd rather be a free man in my grave, than living as a puppet or a slave....
