30ott6's Kudu
30ott6 and I hunted Namibia this past May. His first African animal was a kudu, which the taxidermist finsihed this weekend. Here he is:

Lorenzo- Used a Sako .375 H & H with 285 grain Speer Grand Slams. One shot to the neck at about 60 yards through heavy brush.

Woww, good medicine
I shot one on the neck also last august with a 8mm wildcat, stone dead!!
I really liked your kudu, so far I've shoot two but none of them broke the 50" mark, so I think I still have an excuse for more kudus in the future

Good luck!!

Must have been a some old whitetail hunters in Namibia last year. I shot a 54.5 inch one, also a neck shot,as that was all I could see with a 7x57 and 160 Nosler partitions, of course he went straight down.
