This is a couple of pics that I took from an kudu cow. Now the question is what is she eating ? Some hints:
I will give the answer tomorow afternoon our time. Morning time US! Frederik Cocquyt I always try to use enough gun but then sometimes a brainshot works just as good. | ||

Are Kudu, ruminants? If so she could be re-chewing a previous meal of some forage. "I can't be over gunned because the animal can't be over dead"-Elmer Keith | |||

My guess as well, but I've never seen Kudu eat these! Elephant eat them all the time, though. ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith | |||

Don't know what she is chowing down on but those are great photos. How close were you and what did you use to capture the images. Great job!! Phil | |||

Thanx Phil, Quite close 15 yards and the equipment was a Konica Minolta Dynax 7 D with a 100-300 mm 1:4.5-6.7 zoom lens from Sigma. Frederik Cocquyt I always try to use enough gun but then sometimes a brainshot works just as good. | |||

Klapperdop - or monkey orange's remains after the baboons opened it and ate most of the pips inside the fruit. A type of wild coconut one can almost say. OWLS My Africa, with which I will never be able to live without! | |||

That is not ele poop. It looks like something that might have passed through something already but not poop. It doesn't look very good to me. _______________________________ | |||

Pic number one looks like it could be a monkey-orange, but looks more fibrous in the following pics. I would say, given that it was under a big shady tree, most likely a Kigelia fruit, which is as hard as sin, so probably opened by an ellie or stick of dynamite? | |||

Yes, most of you were right the fruit of a sausage tree. She sure was chewing and giving her jaw muscles a good work out. Frederik Cocquyt I always try to use enough gun but then sometimes a brainshot works just as good. | |||

A friend of mine's mother in Namibia is having a hell of a time this month with Kudu......... Translated from the German; "they are mowing her garden" She has promised to leave me the biggest bull...57-59 inches for next year. How will I make a stalk? Might have to shoot the bugger after morning coffee and rusks Verbera!, Iugula!, Iugula!!! Blair. | |||

She may STARVE TO DEATH before then. . . .You'd better go now or let some other lucky soul have a shot at him! But if she's still alive and if the kudu haven't finished the garden off, then I'd dress up like her, sit on the back porch and shoot him from. . . . . her rocking chair! | |||

You do not say where she is located geographically..It could be Klapperdop, or Amarulu and a few hundred other fruits in various stages of ripening or drying. Ray Atkinson Atkinson Hunting Adventures 10 Ward Lane, Filer, Idaho, 83328 208-731-4120 rayatkinsonhunting@gmail.com | |||
