    Default 54" Kudu

    My client came in yesterday and we were lucky to arrow this bull today. We were stalking some Wildebeest when the Kudu spoiled it for us. He was in the way and would have busted us. The client is more happy with the Kudu that he arrowed as he thought it almost impossible to stalk kudu. Sometimes you have to be lucky.

    Great Kudu! Luck was on your side they dont get big by being stupid. You must have been in ultra stealth mode to catch him off guard like that.
