SOUTH AFRICA: My 62" Kudu Bull From Limpopo

buck wild said:

Also a Limpopo bull. 59.5” from 2015. Wild area in the mountains with no feed or introduced game. He was really broomed down on his tips and likely was 62” or so in his prime.

Well, once you whack a 60"+ kudu, you may as well go after other species, the chance of shooting a second 60 are pretty slim. Congrats, that's a whopper. Hard to beat kudu hunting, it seems to never get old. Taken 3 so far, largest is 57.

Hi everyone,
After sharing my first whitetail from North Carolina, I wanted to show you a hunt from back home. This kudu bull was taken in Limpopo, South Africa, and he measured 62 inches. He's my favourite trophy so far, and my whitetail comes a close second!
It took me two days of walking and stalking, but I was determined to get this one. When I finally found them there were three bulls together. I looked through the scope at the first one, then the second, and then I saw him. That was my trophy. I took the shot at about 180 yards and he dropped right there.
I used a CZ 557 Nightshade in .308 with a Lynx Sport scope and 168 grain Barnes X bullets.
I'd love to see your kudu photos or hear your stories if you've hunted them, or if you're planning to. Thanks for looking!
Monique

Monique...just WOW! Congratulations! Your head must still be in the clouds! Outstanding! After reading of Ernest Hemingway's love affair with Greater Kudu, I also hunted them in the Kalahari. One shot at 215 yards with my 340 Weatherby using 250 grain Superior Ammunition anchored him! His shoulder mount adorns the front entryway to our home. 46 inches of perfect spread and width. 62 inches is stratospheric!
