Jason Roussos won the Robin Hurt Award (best plains game specimen) at tha African Professional Hunters Association dinner meeting last thursday night in Reno. This was based on the 41"+ Mt. Nyala taken last March. His father, Nassos, won the same award last year for the 36" lesser kudu that also won the President's Award from the Dallas Safari Club.
The APHA couldn't decide where to place the 18ft 7 in. Nile Crocodile but agreed that from this point forward Croc's will be considered dangerous game and eligible for that award.
So what used the be called the "Big Six Award" is now the "Big Seven'. John Sharp is always the presenter of that one.

Hope they don't bar us from the competiton next year. I'm still betting on a 20 foot Nile Crocodile to be taken.

Congratulations!

Very well done. The best indicator of future success is past performance.

That's wonderful news, I bet the clients who took those prize specimens were also happy to hear of the awards.

I cannot imagine what a 20 foot croc would even look like! Anyone know what the largest ever measured?

Hey Ann!

Rich Elliot talked about the 18' 7" one, looks like that's the biggest ever measured.

Rowland Ward - - - - - - - - - 17' 3"

Safari Club International - - -17' 8"

Yes, the 18' 7" taken last June shoujld be the new SCI # 1. In Oct. an 18' 2" was taken and those three 17 footers all had various lengths of tail missing. I believe 20 foot is gonna happen.

See y'all in Dallas!
