 I darted him and measured his right horn. I guessed wrong. What do you think he was?

I've never seen an ibex in person so I don't know how big they are. 30"?

TexasKC who has never seen one before is better than me. I thought he was around 28". He actually was 30.5". The curve will fool you. I should have measured him before I sold him. Screwed myself out of a few bucks. Oh well. Such is life.

Yes Sir curve got me Don, I was figuring the ears at about 5 inches and went from there. Great Ibex my friend. I always like to make the advantage to the customer which brings more business your way.

I can assure you it was just a WAG. That is a beautiful animal.

I hate guessing any spiral or curved horned animals. I would have guess 32" though.
Are idiots multiplying faster than normal people? ![[Linked Image]](http://neoswarm.com/images/Bug_Crawling.gif)

I also always give the advantage to the customer. Repeat business is the best kind. Then comes word of mouth from an existing customer. You try to screw anyone on a business deal and it will come back to haunt you. You may not realize it but it will. And sometimes the shoe is on the other foot. I have had a few hunters for WT that I don't want back for various reasons. If I hear they are trying to hunt with an outfitter and I find out I will get in touch with that outfitter and let them know.

 If the first one was 30.5" what is this one? I have not measured him so I need some expert opinion.

First one looks heavier, and this one looks longer. Obviously, i'm no expert given that I guessed 37 on the first one. Really do think this one will push mid-30's.

 So you think he is only 3 inches longer than this one? Interesting.

Would think the bigger one that could easily scratch his shoulders is pushing 40
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true
Mainstream news might be fun to watch
