How big is this boy?
Tirekickers can post their estimate / guess in inches, whereas really serious hunters can make an offer for a trophy fee in US $ Big Grin Any takers?



This one should be very high in any record book listing. Guess where?

In good hunting.

One can cure:

Lack of knowledge – by instruction. Lack of skills – by practice. Lack of experience – by time doing it.


One cannot cure:

Stupidity – nothing helps! Anti hunting sentiments – nothing helps! Put-‘n-Take Outfitters – money rules!


My very long ago ancestors needed and loved to eat meat. Today I still hunt!

If you know the answer it won't be much of a hunt. I would guess 34.

I passed one up that big in 2006...and I am NOT kidding. Afterward, I could kick myself in the ass. The story is, I was spent to my budget but realistically...it would not have broken me to pay the extra 750.00 TF for the animal. Live and learn I guess.

My guy's smaller, but in the same ball park, I would guess. Made Rowland Ward's book, in any case.

Big blue brindled gnu! I am guessing with Azwriter at 34"s!


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling
