PoyntmanI'd shoot them both and pay the trophy fee on #2!!!

shootawayI 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.

lavacaBoth 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.

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

Today I still hunt! 18 January 2018, 09:04
eagle27#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.
18 January 2018, 09:09
Texas Blue DevilLeft one for me.
Go Duke!!
18 January 2018, 09:26
georgeldSeems like the natives get the meat down there.
So filling a freezer is out of the question on these two.
Fine bulls, both!

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......

PondoroLeft no doubt...
18 January 2018, 12:44
crbutlerBoth. Shoot whichever offers the better shot first.
18 January 2018, 13:40
fulvioThe one on the right - it will get me a Gold Award.
18 January 2018, 13:49
ozhunterQuick 1-2 with the double and workout how to sort out the extra T fee
18 January 2018, 14:59
Odin....Jump over the fence, drive fast to OR Tambo and head to zim for some real Buffalo hunting
18 January 2018, 15:20
subsailor74The one my PH told me to shoot
18 January 2018, 17:26
Bama15The one on the right with out question. I love those deep drops.
18 January 2018, 18:40
MileHighShooterRight. Really like those drops and the big grey patches on the cheeks
If you think every possible niche has been filled already, thank a wildcatter!

18 January 2018, 20:00
surefire7One on the right. Been looking for him for a while now.

impala#03The 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.
18 January 2018, 22:36
DLSAny of us would be fortunate to take either bull. Though very different, each is an incredible, old bull.
18 January 2018, 22:39
Charles_HelmBetween these two, the right bull is the right one for me.

I would bet $$$ these are from a northern Tanz or Kenyan Park
19 January 2018, 03:26
MacD37No 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!

cable68I'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.

19 January 2018, 03:48
