Nice horn shape. What's the story on the bull's colour? Are there many bulls that are tan? I remember seeing some when hunting there, different shades of colour.
Amazing to see a couple of sambar. I would love to know where you saw them. Just out of interest. I hoped out of proportion to reality to seeing one there, but never did.
John, the way I understand it with the colour is that when they reach sexual maturity they are rich black colour, as they age they go a dirty or shabby black and then really old bulls can go this caramel colour as opposed to the orange colouring of immature bulls and cows.
I know what you mean about the sambar.
Cheers,
