Judging Nyala

I'd say find out after you get him, he's a great trophy!
 
@Josh Neal ,

Wow, great looking bull! No idea on measurement but who cares, its a hog!

This Nyala bull is an excellent reason to go back. I would say 30"-31".
The bell shape is similar to the one 28" attached below, but the tips are flared significantly more.

I passed on dozens of trophy size Nyala on a 10 hunt in Mozambique October 2017 before I finally settle of this 30 1/2" bull. ZDS had tremendous numbers of big bulls. Saw many shooters every day.

I have heard that there are some exceptional nyala in Mozambique! It's free range too!

Just got the official SCI Score, he came in at 75 2/8".
 
Same property in Zululand, taken two weeks apart. First bull, 28.25" with a very nice bell shape and the second came in on 27.75", the wide horns can be quite misleading.

I took this nyala in Mpumalanga, near to the border with Limpopo. The trophy is 28 1/2 inches

Yes at ZDS no fences there. I seen several shooter Nyala every day but held out for this 30-1/2" one. I passed on 4 or 5 that were in the 29" range. I primarily went to Mozambique to hunt buffalo where I did take 2, but I enjoyed hunting Nyala in the sand Forrest more. I would go back to ZDS just for the free ranging plains game. Amazing place.

I can also recommend ZDS, just back from 11 days there and it's just an amazing place to hunt, I took buffalo, a fantastic Nyala and great warthog.
We were over the full moon, so Nyala were a little slow apparently, probably seen 15 over 27 28, inch and took a wonderful one around 30.

I would be interested in it if you pass. Please send me the info on the gun shop if you do not buy it. I have the needed ammo and brass.
Thanks,
