A good friend (who also happens to be a client of mine) hunted our mountains for Klipspringer a couple of weeks ago and while doing so we saw what appeared to be a very nice kudu bull on a mountain slope some 400 yards away.

We were not really equipped for shooting at that range with the .375H&H my friend was carrying and as the bull had already seen us - chances of getting closer were slim so we decided to leave him alone...

Well; my next client had better luck on his side and a few days ago, while hunting the same general area we came across (what I think might be) the same bull at less than 100 yards away. My client's .300WM did the trick and the bull was down...



The un-fenced mountains on our property has a good reputation for producing quality kudu but even I was surprised when we taped this guy...

The left horn (which at first appeared to be the longer one) measured 59 6/8" and both my client and I were ecstatic. But imagine our surprise when we measured the right horn at 61"!

Another magnificent bull from the Waterberg!

My first reaction was "That's a 60" kudu", but like you, I'm surprised the right horn is longer. Depth of curls. That's what makes judging kudu so tricky. Great animal.
