Hunted with "Chris Broster Safaris" along the Baviians River for these animals. Took 9 animals in 8 days hunting. Excellent food, accomodations, and most importantly, people. Plenty of game and lots of fun stalks. I used my Winchester Model 70 375H&H and 250gr Sierra Gamking handloads on everything from Kudu to Springbuck.

Hey,
Looks like you had a great hunt! BTW is that an East Cape Kudu? The area looks really lush and green...BTW did your gameking bullets ever exit?

Yes, it is the East Cape Kudu. This area was the lowest in elevation I hunted at 6000 feet and only a couple hours from the ocean and probably why it was so green compared to other areas I visited on this hunt.

Of the 9 animals shot only three kept the bullet; an Impala (shot in the neck on an elevated frontal quartering shot with the bullet ending in the off-side hind quarter), the Kudu (shot high broadside with the bullet ending under the skin on the off-side shoulder), and a Springbuck (shot while lying down facing away with the bullet ending in the off-shoulder area); clean pass throughs with small exit wounds on a Blesbuck, the Bushbuck, two Gemsbuck, a Mt. Reedbuck and a Zebra. Because of what I thought was good bullet performance, I don't plan to change a thing on my elk hunt this fall.

Dennis,
Nice pictures. I thought that my kudu was cool because of his very dark face but after watching yours mines looks a little bit sissy

It will be a shouldermount??

Dennis,

Congratulations on a great hunt. The kudu defines Africa for me, fantastic animals.

Thanks for posting a report.

Regards,

Terry

Lorenzo, I can't imagine any Kudu looking "sissy". They are all beautiful to me. Yes, it will be a shoulder mount. It had a "Swart Neck" (under correction of pronunciation and spelling) which I was told meant it's neck was black and swolen from rutting.
