BNagelHighly recommend
http://www.safaripress.com/Hun...roductinfo/FLACK95Y/One per Christmas for me (I hope). KUDU is encyclopedic and I can only project the entire series will be golden. A treasure, and thanks to Blaauwkrantz Safaris for the heads up. Eardley Rudman has an entry about the Eastern Cape greater kudu, about which he and Francois et al know quite a lot.

SDRI also got "Kudu" as a Christmas gift. What I have read so far I like very much. Great stories and great information on hunting Kudu. I do hope it is a series with bushbuck and buffalo coming soon.

The series is "Hunting The Spiral Horns" -- no buffalo. Besides, "Africa's Most Dangerous" by Kevin "Daktari" Robertson is all you need on buffalo. (It's kinda like Flack's excellent stuff.)

BNagelAt DSC, Eardley Rudman told me ELAND is wrapped and Peter Flack is hot to trot to get BUSHBUCK contributions assembled -- stories heavy, so should be good! Apie, a long-time Blaauwkrantz Safaris employee has gotten stuck by wounded bushbuck one to many times and won't agree to follow them up any more. (I have a personal connection with him from a couple trips to the Rudman's operations.) Looking forward to hear all about it.

swaincreekI need to get a copy. Took my first trip to Africa in august and hunted with the Rudmans, first class all the way. Took a very nice Kudu .
