Well Done  Frederik Cocquyt I always try to use enough gun but then sometimes a brainshot works just as good. | |||

Congrats!! That is a good looking bull! I also just noticed the second white stipe from the front forms sort of a pitch fork at the top. Interesting. _______________________________________________________ Hunt Report - South Africa 2022 Wade Abadie - Wild Shot Photography Website | Facebook | Instagram | |||

Congratulations on breaking the drought! On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

Great, hard earned trophy. Congratulations. I've always said if greater kudu were scarce they would be THE most expensive animal to hunt because they just look so cool. Kyler | |||

Magnificent! And his hide is indeed beautiful and in super fine condition. Congratulations! Gary Political correctness entails intolerance for some prejudices but impunity for others. James Taranto | |||

An excellent bull. Definitely worthy of breaking a jinx. | |||

Very nice balance of spread, horn length and curl. Did anyone put a tape on him? (I've got a wee case of kudu horn envy. I'm headed to Zim in month to try and cure it.) Great picture. 'Hope your hunting partner gets his leopard. | |||

I would be smiling too. Looking forward to the full report. Well done Jeff No people in history have ever survived who thought they could protect their freedom by making themselves inoffensive to their enemies. | |||

Great looking kudu there, Hutty! Enjoyed having lunch and a couple of beers with you in Johannesburg. | |||

As someone who took his first kudu on trip #3, I know the feeling of finally holding those spiral horns. Good job! | |||

Southern Africa's most beautiful antelope, and yours is a great example. I was lucky too. I find the graceful sweep of your trophy more to my tast than the tightly curled or the wider sweeps one also finds in the species. Just my personal taste in the variety of beauty one encounters with this animal. _________________________________ AR, where the hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history become the nattering nabobs of negativisim. | |||

Many thanks for the congrats from all the AR members. Cazador- Yes we did but the tape on him back at the shed 55 1/2 and 56 1/2 on the other side, bases were about 9 1/2 inches. Bob in TX- glad you noticed the pitchfork on the hide. Those markings caught my eye also and it will be put to use.
