I'm suffering greatly from Kudu envy. I will be there in September.

Great photo's.

Kudu envy??? just go for the crown jewel of Africa, and get it over with...SABLE!!!!

I thought I wanted a kudu, until I saw the Sable...Unless you have one.

AK,

Have to disagree, mate. I have a Sable from Zim and it was a good hunt, but a big Kudu bull is more of a challenge, I reckon.

And my crown jewel is a Lord Derby Eland.

And a big Bongo.

And a Roan..................................

I know what your goin' thru, Blair...

I'll be chasin him again this Aug.. Its been a long two years since our last go round!! I won that one with a 54"er!!

I could go to Africa every year and just hunt kudu and warthogs!!

Kudu and Bushbuck for me

And always baboons............

I'm with AKsheephunter. I'm in awe of big kudu, but sable for the moment is numero uno.

Once on the wall however, I've never seen a sable look as good as a kudu. The kudu is regal. The sable looks goofy. If someone has a sharp looking sable, post it. I don't have to see kudu. I know how mine looked before and after.

A sable in a chess piece pedestal mount looks great.

I have kudu, gemsbok, impalla, blesbok, envy....Aug of 2009 CAN'T come soon enough for me!

Don't get me wrong, I love the kudu, But the Sable to me is the absolute crown jewel, of course theres a significant price in trophy fees between the two, and every year I have seen the price of Sable go up, I know you can hunt them cheaper in other countries in Africa, as we discussed in the other threads, I don't think the numbers of Sable, are as big as Kudu either...like I said, get one while you can, at least for what it cost now.
