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.

A few bulls I have managed to hunt personally, always a thrilling hunt for Kudu.

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. 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.

Another interesting kudu taken. Wonder what caused this formation?
