Maybe I'm not refined, but I would trade a lot of poetry to get that kudu in my hands!

I have always heard that the farther south and west you go, the better the kudu. Why then does the northern province of RSA consistently put heads in the books? I know that perhaps Namibia has less foreign hunters and therefore less recorded heads, but I have heard great things about the kudu there!
Lastly, we all have heard that kudu are easy to kill, even with small calibers...
Have any of you people noticed this in the field, ie whilst culling?
