THANK YOU SIR, I NEVER EXPECT TO BE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HARVEST A BOOK ANIMAL BUT IF IT HAPPENS I WOULD LIKE FOR IT TO BE ENTERED IF FOR NO OTHER REASON I BELIEVE IF SHOWS SOME RESPECT TO THE ANIMAL .Don't let others opinions stop you from entering a great animal in the record books, that is your decision. I entered my kudu that's in my avatar in SCI and in no way did it diminish the memories or experience. My long passed relatives have two public land bull elk listed in B&C that were over the counter licences and I look them up occasionally and am glad they listed them for us future generations as part of our legacy!
Dear TXHUNTER338Just returned from my first African Safari . I was lucky enough to collect a 58.5" greater kudu .
I am wandering if that is enough to qualify for SCI Book .
Congrats,, fine trophy..they are so majestic...I assume a rifle kill ?...
My first trip to So Africa on first day I connected on a grey ghost at seventeen yds with my recurve... to say the least it was the most exciting harvest of my life... shot it in 2012 & I still relive it to this day & every time I hear a fellow hunter tell their story... I can feel your excitement....
It was a dream come true ...took years to save for...
Infinito SafarisThat Kudu is a stud for sure. Definitely gold medal. What outfit did you hunt with?
Nothing bummed me more when i guided tham having a bloke looking at a deer saying "yeah he's a beauty but what's he going to score?"Congratulations on your trip & trophy. Based on your measurements... yes I’m
Sure it will score “something”. However, my 2 cents.... forget that shit. The hunt, the memory, experience, etc... is way more valuable that being listed & lost in the annals of some cheesy ass book.
Sorry to be blunt. You have a great trophy!
Have to agree with BWH mine went just over the 52inches. My PH told me that was a good one for the Kalahari region. Old fella with ivory tips. Not a world beater like the ones further south but one that will take pride of place in my home. As BWH said my trophy my memories I don't need a book to tell me I'm good. All I have to do is look at my wall and the memories come back of a great time.Congratulations on your trip & trophy. Based on your measurements... yes I’m
