I want one bad, but I also am looking for HUGE one too....
 
@BRICKBURN , our foreign expert on Vaalies, size? Anyone ?
 
I'd guess 6 0r 7 inches. The one side is larger than the other.
 
Do you often find them in tall grass like that? I thought they were found higher up, where the terrain is getting sheepy.
 
This is pretty high up, you just don't see them easily in the long grass. They like to bed down in the long grass where they have a great view of the area around them.
 
One day maybe I will chance one around. I would guess this one at 81/2 long side 8 1/4 short side.
 
I will be in RSA this fall and have been considering a hunt for one of these while I'm there..... Interesting critters! Just haven't found the right offer... Bruce

In my spurt opinion - that left one is about to touch 9. It is just a hair under.

Old enough to be right handed and worn off that other horn.
It will make Rowland.


Here's one for Enysse.

One of these in a full body mount would be nice to add to the trophy room.

Once you have put in the effort for one of these guys I would have to agree. Space permitting of course.
