GREATER KUDU

After staying awake an entire night in a Leopard

blind through stars and then a downpour, and

after being disappointed because all that came to

feed was a small cat and a honey badger.  While

on the way back to camp I spotted 4 large bull

Kudo.  Choosing the largest of the 4, I took careful

aim at him and killed him with one shot at 60 yards

withmy 300 Weatherby.  He only about 10 yards

and dropped.

Some say this is the most beautiful of all the

antelope because of the majestic elegance of the

the spiral horns.  These horns spiral to 56 inches.

This animal is interesting to track as it goes so far

and then stops and hides in the brush to see what

the hunter is doing.  Choga was my tracker and

Colin was the Professional Hunter.

We had tracked 4 bulls along a dry riverbed the

day before but they kept catching our scent and

loosing us.  My PH (Professional Hunter) Colin

Welensky, climbed several trees during the stock

to spot these animals.

This Greater Kudu was put into a shoulder

mount. (Above)
