Kudu Pictures

Fantastic that big bulls are still out there, I did type incorrectly, 71 not 72 inches.
 
Not the biggest kudu I have ever guided, but one of my most rewarding, a client who has been dreaming of hunting a kudu for 55 years, missed a snorter the first afternoon, last afternoon 12 bulls standing together, could only manage a shot on the 3rd biggest, waited 23 minutes for the shot...race against the light. Client was from a country called Suriname, didn't even know it exsisted. That night around the fire his younger brother a professional musician wrote and sung a song about the whole hunt..by the end of the song, we all had tears in our eyes...humbling experience.

After looking at all theses great pics I have to ask a Question,,does the Area, Terrian, Forest Density etc determine the spread of the Horns, Also the thickness of the Bases doesn't seem to go hand in hand with the length on some of these specimans
 
ROB44, the main effect on horn growth is usually to do with minerals in the soil.
 
My son took this 50 incher in 2013. The smile says it all!

Are the third and forth photos of kudu you have taken? I have seen photos of the forth kudu before. Impressive.
Yes I have posted #4 before a couple of times but It was taken by my cousin and #3 was taken by a friend of mine. Both were taken on my parents farm if I am not mistaken. Here is a front view.

Love the flares on the last two. (y) Do you remember how long those two kudu were?

Thanks. Ill try to find the 64 and 65 inch ones photos also but #3 was 62.5 or 63 and #4 barely made 60(think 60 1/18) on the right horn. Were taken a long time ago so the memory is a bit blurry.

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
