I agree that is the place to shoot a kudu. I probably shouldn't tell this story but it is true. On my first safari we were calling it a day as it was very hot & we did a lot of tracking, As we were heading to the lodge I spotted 4 kudu bulls in the brush. We jumped off the truck & were going to trail them. After we proceeded 40 yds we heard a lot of brush busting & out these Kudu came running into the open. My guided hollered shoot the 2nd bull. I led him slightly & shot and he went down like a ton of bricks he animal was 50 yds away when I shot.
As we approached it carefully, it kicked a few times & flipped over on its side. We noticed 3 bullet holes. 1 in the heart, 1 in the lungs & 1 in the spine. We turned around and seen 1 tree with one long spindly branch that was shot off. The bullet split up into 3 pieces, It looked like I shot it with 00 buckshot! Those spots will do it , but I doubt that will happen again in a million years!
