It is, indeed, hard to better Kathi's photo (or animal!), but here goes.
Zim September 2009, Kwe-Kwe area, Ingwe Safaris, PH Shaun Catton.
Winchester Featherweight .30-06, Speer Grand Slam 180grs.
It seems I'm completely blind to kudu - I dare not tell you how many situations I cocked up despite Shaun and Ben the tracker's good efforts. This one we spotted shading under a tree when we actually already were in the Landy on our way to have lunch. So Shaun pulled over and whispered the instructions to me. We crouched along the road close to the kudu, Shaun took one last look and up the sticks went! The distance could not have been more than 20 metres and I squeezed the shot off. The kudu jumped in the air as if bolted by a lightning under his belly, then bolted again turning 180 degress and took off. I reloaded but didn't get another one off. We run after him, but lost him in the thicket. At this point Shaun uttered the words the client does not want to hear: "I'll go get my gun." So Ben and I followed the track. I'm actually very proud that it was me who spotted the smallest drop of blood. We came across the road, and spotted him under a tree - stone dead. He had run maybe 150 metres or so. The shot was good, lowish, but through the heart and lungs nevertheless.
Beautiful it is.... And for this one, too, we certainly had worked (read: "walked") our asses off!
