HUNTING Kudu

To me, you have a 12" diameter, for your perfect shot placement

 

[bluey]

an equilateral triangle of atleast 10 inches

"Aim small, miss small." Wish I knew who said that first. When I train youth hunters, I always ask them what their target size is. They always point to the vital zone and I hold up a shell casing and tell them it's the size of this bullet. It makes a huge difference in the concentration and attitude.

The lower, right-and dot in the picture is what my PH called "putting it in the crease". It's a double lung from broadside and ruins little of the meat. We shot eight animals using that guide and 100 +/- yards was the furtherest tracking. Most of the tracking was finished after 50-75 yards.

Good example to teach by K-man

No one has mentioned a front on shot. I've been told that this isn't the best shit as there's to much chance of missing the vitals.
Mine was front on at 120 yards. My PH said I could wait for a broad side shot or go low on a front on shot. I chose the low chest shot. He made 20 yards and nose dived. Autopsy revealed the top of the heart blown out and the bullet was found in the rear ham after over 5 foot of penetration.
35 Whelen 225grain accubond at 2,850 fps.

Front on shot

35 cal 225grain accubond recovered from the ham of my Kudu.
