apparently this breeder kudu has died and was 76"+ and 74"+ per side. Aside from any personal feelings one may have for the breeding side of hunting, this bull was indeed world class!

IMO, deep curls like that don't necessarily make the animal more beautiful. Kudos to him for keeping such an animal alive.
 
Gonna be some nice ones when his kiddies grow up.

I find Kudu the hardest animal for me to judge. The guides in Africa are amazing at estimating Kudu size. I saw a 70" Kudu mounted with big deep curls in a lodge. The old kudu looked really short on length and I was guessing upper 50's.

I do like the look of a tall set of horns but would not pass on a 70" plus animal.
 
We have been watching this bull with interest. There are a vids on YouTube about them darting the animal.

Back After a Long Time – Hello Again!


Hi everyone,


I’ve been a member since 2015 but haven’t been active since 2017. Life got busy, especially with building my second business. Still, I’ve kept my passion for hunting and followed things from afar. Now that I have more time, I’m excited to reconnect, contribute, and be part of the community again.


All the best,
ANDY

I'd like a bag of 100. I could actually pick it up since I'm in North Irving, but if you prefer, shipping it is fine.
