Here is a picture that was sent to me
Sorry don't have any detail except that it says it was shot in Grootfontein Namibia, was 5 mm shorter than world record and weighed 267 kg on the hook (stomach out and head of).

It's a heavy kudu for sure, but it can't be anywhere near the world record...there isn't much curl...and it's not that high. I have seen a lot of big kudu pictures and have come to believe most aren't officially measured....nobody wants to do all the paperwork and leg work too. Plus having seen big animals and people get bugged to death by people and media....a lot of people are content to be proud of there trophy. Sure a outfitter will post that there client shot it and use it in advertising. But I'm one of those people would never enter anything in the book. It's the hunt memories that are the most important.

He is a nice kudu for sure, but there are bigger out there.

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
