Which Buffalo Would You shoot?

Both have very desirable features as trophies. I would guess both are mature, or close to mature, but not as old as they should be when taken as trophies. Unfortunately the pic doesn't show enough but I would want to assess body mass and other signs of great age before a decision to shoot. If neither was of takeable status I would be quite happy to let them walk, happy with the privilege of just finding such magnificent bulls to view. But agreed, they are beauties, both.
 
Genetics are great but neither look to be very old. Maybe 7 or 8?
 
Left.
 
I took this picture at Lake Nakuru National Park in Kenya about 20 years ago. The question is, which one would you shoot? I'm torn, but I think I'd shoot the one on the left. How about you?
One of those times when you trust the judgement of your PH. That's one of the reasons you're paying him all that money.
 
Left one has better boss but that tore up ear on right one makes him a fighter. More character I d take him.

They were a sight to behold. Lake Nakuru was full of big bulls. I was drooling...
 
I've said it before, I'll say it again: I want an OLD warrior who's earned a good death - horns worn down, missing half an ear, claw scars all over his back, teeth nearly worn down, a broken tail...

Those are some nice-looking bulls, just not my cuppa.

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is 239 565-8988. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.

Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?

Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
