Hello everyone. Thought it might be fun to see pictures of your top five biggest African animals! I know that a trophy is in the eye of the beholder and that some hard won animals can mean more to us than inches but in this thread I thought it would be fun to see your biggest! I hope the outfitter sponsors will also post some of their all-time best. A short note about where you got the animal might also be fun to know. Not necessarily looking for scores but just your favorite impressive animals. Thanks for posting!

Wow, incredible trophies, and hunted all over Africa. Well done on living life large.
 
Here’s a couple nice ones I’ve been lucky to take. Buff is 43” - didn’t tape the Nyala or hartebeest but they look big to me :) I’ve shot 2 kudu but they aren’t huge - that’s what’s on the menu for my next trip, monster kudu and eland
