With a quick drive on Friday Frikkie managed to take a few pictures of some Kudu roaming our main concession. You can see we had an off season last year with 2 bulls that had leg injuries. We need to get hunting soon. The trophy quality is just amazing!!!!

Here is a Big Old Bull I shot myself with one of the Trackers up in the Limpopo hills, I was carrying & used my .458Win, had no camera so we quickly got the Bakkie to him, loaded him up & got back to the home ranch just on dark for some photos !

Thank you, yes I was over the Moon happy & surprised to see a Bull like that & get him better still !

I have more pic's but I'm in them & spoil them a bit lol !

My buddy measured him ( I didn't on purpose as it was just the look I wanted) I remember he said 59 7/8ths, which is crazy as I was dreaming of a wide 54-56in bull & after hunting them a fair while now & with many hunters & finding it hard to get 52-53in (saw a 55-56 many times with no hunter or after the season but wasn't allowed to shoot him myself) even more he was on a rough cattle type farm, hunting is done there but not in the normal sense & I could hunt any size I saw so if he went over 60in would still be fine !

Maybe I'll get the tape out & see how much he has shrunk in the drying .

I may have shared this already, if so apologies. Upper Luangwa Valley, Zambia.

@WAB that is one handsome kudu! Plus it looks to be healthy and in prime condition- very nice. When I was there coming in from Lusaka, we first drove through the larger NP to the SE- IIRC, Lukusuzi then through the smaller NP Luambe before heading north into the GMA hunting area on the east side of the Luangwa. I remember seeing a fresh bull kudu skull leaning up against the guard house at the entrance to Lukusuzi NP. It looked like a fairly fresh predator kill. It was also an excellent bull and seeing yours just now reminded me of that kudu. During my stay there, I never saw a kudu larger than about 45". Besides the buffalo I took, a suicidal high fifties + kudu eluded me and would have been the only other game I would have taken. I ended having too much fun doing other things and didn't even notice the next 12 days go by not pulling the trigger on any other animal. Puku would have been logical but I didn't pay too much attention to them. But looking back I should have spent at least a little time on bushbuck as there seemed to be quite a density of good ones there.

Kudu my son shot in the eastern cape a couple years ago. It was his first big game animal. He went on to shoot 9 more animals this trip and was treated like gold by the huntershill staff. Excellent time with my oldest son. Strengthened our bond and gave my boy a big lift of confidence.

Cherish this memory for the rest of our lives.

My East Cape Kudu

 

[Longrifle]

Eastern Cape Kudu. Quartering-away shot at 280-m with .375 H&H. The bullet (Barnes 300gr TSX) entered behind the last rib and split the heart. This bull went 15-m and piled up. When the PH said "Shoot when you have a clean shot" and started counting off the range, "220, 240, 260, 280" I shot.
