Nice nyala, good hogs as well

Aspen Hill AdventuresThat nyala is outstanding, very good start on the spiral horns! The wildebeest looks like an old warrior.

PaulyoteThe Nyala is maybe 29", and I think the waterbuck is 26", I'll have to wait until they are shipped back to my taxidermist.
What's the record on Nyala?

Aspen Hill AdventuresPaul,
They come bigger than 29" but yours has a classic shape, which is what you want, more important than length in my opinion. It would be difficult to improve on what you have.

PaulyoteThanks Ann, I'm very pleased with the shape (and size) of the Nyala, too.

David CulpepperThe picture of that nyala does not do it justice. It looked bigger and better in person.

retreeverPaul super nyala and bushbuck...They look like a 28 inch and a 16 incher respectfully..
Ivory on pigs is outstanding...
Good shooting...

Die Ou JagterDamn, that Nyala looks like my Nyala's twin brother. If so it would make him 29 1/2. Not too shabby.
