I've seen quite a few posts regarding kudu lately so I thought I'd add mine. These pictures were taken about as far upstream as you can get on the Luangwa river before you hit Malawi. I shot this fellow the year before Zambia shutdown to 'sort out' their concessions. I've hunted in many spots in Africa since, but I have never seen a bigger bodied kudu. I don't really know much about measuring, but the mass of this kudu had me curious as the horns seem very heavy. A quick check of the circumference at the base was roughly 11". He was a very old animal.

Wow, what a Kudu!
 
Great bull!
 
One lucky guy! Fine kudu! Congratulations!
 
that is a beast!!!
 
What were you up there hunting? (besides the Kudu)
 
Looks more like an Eland being loaded in the truck than a kudu.

My first kudu was big bodied but nothing like that.
 
He’s fantastic! Congratulations!
 
That is one beautiful Kudu bull, I can only imagine what a feeling that was taking down a monster!!!
