I like the one on the left.Someone took one like that a few years back in the Zambezi Valley.It went 45 inches.It was taken with R.Tabor.The one pictured above looks a little larger.

Both beautiful bulls. While the one on the left appears to be the better one, I've always wanted one with really deep drops, so I'd shoot that one first and try to pick off the other one if I could. That's why I hunt Tanzania -- 3 on license.

Cal, isn't a scenario like this one a good reason for carrying a .600 double?

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!

#2 is in poorer body condition than the one on the left so to fill the freezer I would be taking fat #1.
Oh the head, well exaggerated droopy horns have a feminine look to me for some reason so again #1.

Seems like the natives get the meat down there.
So filling a freezer is out of the question on these two.

Fine bulls, both!

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

The one on the right for sure. He looks pretty thin, maybe not long before the lions take him out. I would save him some suffering.
Both beautiful bulls.

Any of us would be fortunate to take either bull. Though very different, each is an incredible, old bull.

No question! The one on the right. He has a beautiful boss, and well balanced drops, and IMO he is older than the one on the left.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,NOW! like everyone else here I would take both if allowed, to hell with the cost! It will still be cheaper that a second safari to find the other one!

.............GOOD BULLS BOTH! tu2 tu2 tu2 tu2 old

I'd kind of prefer the one on the left, but I feel obligated to take the one on the right. Hopefully I could take both.
