Hello many people think it is a doctored display but rest assure its the real thing. I believe when we measured it it was right at 7". It is being shipped as of today to me from Alabama. I will take much better pictures and post them. I have not had it scored or had an official scoring done for any book entry. I was told it was in the top 3 or 4 in Namibia? This was shot on the Kowas farm about 90 kilometers south of Windhoek. Danie Strauss told me he had a giant on his farm. I seen it twice before I had the opportunity to harvest it. I also received special permission to harvest the female to do the educational display. Jess the "Monkeyhunter" was with me so was "Biebs" Larry

Larry and Biebs came from an elephant hunt in the Caprivi and I hooked up with them at Kowas Adventure Safari for some plains game. I was in truck with him and stayed in the truck while he stalked the trophy of trophies with the guide. Since he had no other rifle, he had to use what he had from the elephant hunt - his 416, enough gun you think?

A Stud for sure...I don't think I have ever seen one that size in three trips.

I got a "big" one near Aorab Namibia in 2009, something like 4 3/4ths and it looks BIG, but yours dwarfs it. You'res should go well into the books, as mine made it. Should make SCI too.
