Last news from the CAR bush. The last hunter was very blessed to take this huge bongo mid May.
He shot it early morning at first light with one shot from his 375HH.
This beauty reach 35'' and should be top 6 SCI. The cherry on top of the cake is the unusual and fantastic shape of the horns.
As you can see on the picture some are bigger !!!! so let's go hunting....

i would guess in the 36 - 37 inch range.
 
Just amazing !
 
I think that's a shooter!
 
Christophe, those are amazing specimens. 2.5 times the ears is good enough for me. The first trail cam picture even looks younger. (in the face)

The horn shape of the original makes certain you are looking at a spiral horn.

Thanks for sharing.

I'm easily as impressed by the mass and the shape as much as the length, just a gorgeous animal!

Based on this huge old bongo that you took in CAR back in 2007 which measured 36 2/8 inches I will say 37 inches for the first one and I would not be surprised if the second one was to reach 38 inches. The second bull is definitely more mature… but again you are the pro when it comes to the orange beauty!

Thanks Jérôme, it is the feeling I have too.
The shape of the horns is perfect, so pretty. I really hope to see them again next year....
