    Yep, definitely. I didn't think he was really good when I shot him (I knew he was pretty decent) as the mass of the horn makes them look shorter if that makes sense? But when you sit the head next to an average 12" bull it absolutely dwarfs them! I left an old bull a few years ago with badly broomed tips, looking back now he would have been a really good character trophy...

    If it's not a first round hit you need to practice more

    I beat we lost the muzzle off a few just from them falling. I always enjoy hearing of tahr taken with regular sized cartridges putting to bed the "need a maginum" stigma
