Identifying the sex:
- The lyre-shaped horns are found only in males.
- Mature rams are larger and more heavily-set than females
What to look for in a good trophy:
- Look for good horn length and thick bases. The tips should be smooth, sharply-pointed and rise vertically, rather than tilt inwards. If the horn tips turn outwards, it should be great trophy impala.
