Very big Black impala on one of our hunting areas what do you guys think he will measure?

Cool animal. I never killed any of the unusual color phase plains game animals but black impala and golden wildebeest are beautiful creatures for sure.

I am not good at guessing horn length but he looks like a giant impala.
 
Black Impala are cool, look very much like Dark Fallow Deer.

Around 24-25in can’t see how much he curves back.
 
The PH on my first safari in Zimbabwe put me onto one a little bigger....and I whiffed the shot!
That one is a don't hesitate, just shoot size.
 
He is nice and wide
But looks pretty flat(doesnt curve back much)
Will make a nice trophy
 
He is old and wide and a nice throphy but he is 2 inches short of RW....
 
Would really like to see him from the side so we could see how far he goes back and then how his tips come back forward.

HI all, here is a Short update on our America trip, I currently in Houston and have 2 more meetings here before movings North toward Oklahoma, Missouri and Iowa, and from there I will head to Colorado and Idaho,I have been met with great hospitality and friendship, and have met several new and old clients and we are going to book the rest of 2025 season quick and have several dates booked for 2026!
That's a wrap, on our first hunt of this years season.

Hunting conditions are a bit tougher in South Africa during the month of February, but can be just as rewarding if done right.
