My kudu from the Kalahari .
Not big compared to some, 53" but big enough for me. I'm more than happy with him.
He was hiding in the bushes behind, front on facing shot. One shot with the Whelen, a 20 yard dash and nose dive into the red Kalahari sand.
Range 120 yds, projectile 225gn accubond at 2900fps.

The accubond after it penetrated from front to rear ham. Around five feet of penetration thru the chest, rumen and intestinal tract.

I don't know how I missed this thread.

Like a few others have said, kudu was the first thing I dreamed of when I first dreamed of Africa, 40 years ago. So far? 3, and they will likely be a part of any future hunt.

My first, 2021, Marlin MXLR in .338 Marlin Express, 130 yards...

My second, 2021, same rifle, 150 yards; this was a "management" bull...

My third, 2023, Savage 99 in .300 Savage, 210 yards...

My one and only from Northern Limpopo in two thousand fourteen. I don’t even remember the length but he’s not very big.

This is my sons first kudu, he took it in the Eastern Cape in July of 2024, one shot whith his 300WM at 351 yards. Not bad for a 13 year old on his first safari.

I don't know if it's anything to brag about but here is mine from Limpopo, May 2023. They never actually measured it. They just told me it was a nice shooter. If anyone wants to take a shot at it in terms of an estimate, I wouldn't mind. It was my most substantial harvest of any animal so far in my life.

April of [emoji638][emoji640] near Mopane —we shot it together. Something we practiced and got very good at. To say he was over the moon is an understatement Still waiting for the cape to come in from the tannery

I am not exactly the trained eye but for better or worse, the one you took looks like a nicer animal. Very impressive.

Do you mind me asking what auction you are referencing? I'm not in the market for any of those rifles...just curious.
