LAST EDITED ON May-31-14 AT 07:09PM (MST)[p]AW, they are pretty much the same size, 38-39 inches. And you are correct on the sex, both bulls. The NM one has a cool little curve to one horn, too. I believe the WR came from White Sands, and it was a cow.
Buzz, I really am surprised, but whatever, your shot clearly worked! The kid I was paired with shot his right behind the shoulder and we chased it for miles and miles, it never slowed down. Then we saw it the next day, feeding like nothing was wrong, with holes in both sides, so I assume it hit nothing vital? Anyway, my impression was that they are tough buggers!
I also agree with Buzz on the glassing. We looked over numerous herds before we found a good bull. And the singles don't stand still but for a moment.
I used a .280 Remington in NM, and a 30-06 in Namibia.
