Is it ok to give your PH a size wish list

Here is a guaranteed 60 incher at an auction. (Great breeding stock)

Just the possibility in this picture is exciting. Look at that reflection off those horns of the guy on the right. Not sure if that tip is pointed up on his right horn, but I'd be willing to crawl through those thorns to find out.

Not for Rowland Ward!!!

I am pretty certain you know I was joking, but just to make sure. I was smiling in that picture for a reason. Zero complaints out of me.

I would ask questions about Trophy Quality BEFORE I booked?

Old mature animals tend to have smaller horns than the younger ones do on a lot of species .
Wear and tear , fighting or simply worn down with age .
Eland is a fine example of the old blue bulls haveing shorter horns than the younger bulls .
My PH said some hunters shoot two animals and put the younger horns on the older cape .
Be carefull what you wish for , you could get real disappointed .
Take what the hunt throws up at you .
Isnt it the thrill of the hunt we go to Africa for ?????
Not to line our trophy rooms with record book animals .
Is that not the reason so many people hate trophy hunters .
Im afraid im just a passionate hunter , a trophy is a bonus .
Just a thought .
Cheers Dory .
