Love me some more Oryx meat in the freezer.

Hint: The Orange Man in the photo above is 6'-8" and a very dense 450#...

Alternatively: (17" long + 3-1/2" bases) x 2 = 41" (SCA)

Oh - I'm just poking fun. It's pretty clear both of those have plenty of bone to hang on the wall. :cool:

Oh so close, but not quite. ?

17" x 2.5 + another 1" will almost get you there on the length of that beast.

The point being... It's easy to be wrong when judging horn length based solely on a picture.

In case anyone is wondering, the orange man's oryx is the NM state record. It's a cow with horns that are just short of 44" with 7" bases. It's a truly remarkable animal, but it's tough to tell by the picture.
