@Jeff505, is there any truth to the rumor that Alan hit that Kudu with the Landcruiser on the way back to camp?

That is so absolutely untrue. Everyone knows that sometimes older Kudu are propped up with sticks and that sometimes it looks like they have been dead a few days. All the 60”+ Kudus ( one so far) that I have found were that way.

Thanks for clearing that up….and for sharing another little-known animal fact! He’s as superb now as the first time I saw him in the skinning shed. We’ll done amigo!

Nice kudu, congrats! That is the shape and configuration that fools those inexperienced at judging them. Some good kudu can even terminate with inward pointing tips but they still have that big first sweep. Your kudu shows exactly where the length comes from on many good bulls… the first wide sweeping curl.

The Kudu is simply a fantastic animal....after more than 8 years of looking for a 60"+ bull, I finally connected on this bull in May, 2023, with Kuche Safaris. Its my dream animal!

Harvested this bull with a Rigby Highland Stalker in 275 Rigby and a 139gr Absolute Hammer projectile from Hammer Bullets. He went 62" and 61.25".

Simply amazing to find a kudu of that size, and free range. Congratulations

Congratulations, free range makes it that much better.

Zane Bronkhorst was the PH for a 64”+ bull earlier this year in Zim. Pictures are floating around.

Here are a couple of the best ones which I've taken over the years.
