My kudu from the Kalahari .
Not big compared to some, 53" but big enough for me. I'm more than happy with him.
He was hiding in the bushes behind, front on facing shot. One shot with the Whelen, a 20 yard dash and nose dive into the red Kalahari sand.
Range 120 yds, projectile 225gn accubond at 2900fps.
The accubond after it penetrated from front to rear ham. Around five feet of penetration thru the chest, rumen and intestinal tract.

2024 Botswana and Natal.
Botswana are left to right 56”,52.5”,63 green score.
All free range except 52.5” was a 140 thousand acres fenced property. Didn’t measure Natal probably 47 or 48”. Was an old free range bull, last day, last 5 minutes of light.
Like a few others have said, kudu was the first thing I dreamed of when I first dreamed of Africa, 40 years ago. So far? 3, and they will likely be a part of any future hunt.
My first, 2021, Marlin MXLR in .338 Marlin Express, 130 yards...
My second, 2021, same rifle, 150 yards; this was a "management" bull...
My third, 2023, Savage 99 in .300 Savage, 210 yards...
Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?
