Re: The Kudu Thread!
25/09/11 12:20 AM

This is the only greater kudu bull I have ever seen in the wild. It was taken in Tanzania in the Selous. The East African kudu is rarer than its South African counterpart.

We were out at "crow pee", as usual, driving along a typical trail in fairly heavy brush, when we came to a clearing on the left. In the clearing was a herd of kudu cows and this bull. The PH stopped the vehicle, I piled out of the left side, was handed my Krieghoff .375 H&H double rifle from the rear, and the vehicle moved on.

The herd of cows had moved toward the tree line on the opposite side of the clearing, some 175 yards away, with the bull bringing up the rear. I followed him in my 3X scope until he reashed the edge of the clearing and paused to look back, quartering away from left to right. At that point, I let off the shot.

He took a tremendous bound into the brush and piled up on the ground. The 300 grain Silvertip had taken out heart and lungs and the off shoulder.

It was a shot I will never forget.
