Are these prices for 2022? Isn't Australia still closed? Does the price for the trophy hunt include the trophy fee for one bull?

Yes Bryan they are, this year is totally out, no international travel for us nor tourists coming in until next year. Of course we are hoping that will be in time for hunting season.
We await direction from Govt.

"These bulls were all taken last week and are between 94 and 98 SCI points."

Only silly idiots care about SCI Points.

How about inches, which normal people can recognize?

Saaed, Agreed with you. But as the saying goes when in Rome! 100 SCI points = 100 inches total of both bases and both outside circumferences of the horns.

A good spread is 40 inches plus.

Based on the SCI scoring system the big wide sweeping bulls do not score highly and neither do the old bulls that carry the weight right through to the tips.

So as with Cape buffalo or any other animal for that matter the old bulls are the real trophy. There are a lot of bulls to choose from so clients wont have a problem selecting the animal they want to take.
