I regret not getting a better picture, I was feeling ill and had a huge list of urgent jobs to try to make a start on - including feeding a hungry dog with terrible breath, way overdue for fresh meat, as well as helping out some folks running low on food.
Good stalk, my first on new-burned country for the year. Got to fifty metres with the Mauser .300H&H and some quick shooting plus some insurance shots had him ready to help us out for food, and I went and thanked him after a careful approach checking for eye movement. The first bullet was my last TSX, followed by some factory Federals with little orange tips.
I was impressed by his scars, heaps of healed-up cuts and punctures, and a wonderfully-smashed-up working right horn tip.
Didn’t measure him, he would only score low nineties with our country / genetics. But it’s not about inches. One of the most magnificent, incredible old warrior bulls I saw had 82” horns - almost straight-out with the usual thinner bases - but old and gnarled.
