Each Year the African Professional Hunters Association gives out 3 awards to it's members. One for the best dangerous game trophy. One for the best plains game trophy , and a conservation award. I'm happy to say that Nassos Roussos, the founder and owner of ERVS received the plains game award for that big lesser kudu that I posted back last spring. It was 36" green 35 7/8 dried and scored 85 to be the new SCI # 1. Rich Elliott Rich Elliott Ethiopian Rift Valley Safaris | ||

I wander what these awards really mean? I think last years' DG award was for a big buffalo with a very "green" boss! Personally I didn't think that buffalo was much of a trophy at all.... Not taking away from the lesser kudu of this year which is truly exceptional.... "...Them, they were Giants!" J.A. Hunter describing the early explorers and settlers of East Africa hunting is not about the killing but about the chase of the hunt.... Ortega Y Gasset | |||

Bwanamih, If I remember right, it was a hermaprodite (sp?) with a very unusual droop shape and an open boss. The thing is supposed to be meaner than a normal buff. Kinda like a "gatapuss".  We had the biggest Nile Buffalo taken in Ethiopia since 1977 entered in that competition and got third place?The lesser kudu beat out a couple of big southern greater kudu and, I believe, a sable.

Nickudu, No web site yet. There are usually pictures of the winners in Hatari Times and this year, Sports Afield covered the award dinner so I suspect it will be in an upcoming issue. Rich Elliott P.S. I'm off to the Grand Slam/Ovis convention in Biloxi for the next 6 days. R.E. Rich Elliott Ethiopian Rift Valley Safaris | |||

Rich, I know the one you mean (Ox of Okavango??) but it wasn't that one. It was a soft bossed mid-40" bull. "...Them, they were Giants!" J.A. Hunter describing the early explorers and settlers of East Africa hunting is not about the killing but about the chase of the hunt.... Ortega Y Gasset | |||
