Lets see some Kudu!

Here is another, first kudu I shot in Limpopo in 2021. If I recall he was about 54 1/2”. About like my other from Botswana but the Botswana bull has much deeper curls which gives the extra length.

I have hunted a good number of kudus, but most of them were not trophies. My biggest one is "only" a 51 inches kudu and others were young bulls, bad genetics or cows.

My first kudu, and the biggest one:

Here are some others kudus :

A young kudu bull that was wounded previously, but we only discovered its injury after the shot. He had been shot in the apophisis and we recovered a 9.3 mm bullet when we carved it.

Just after the shot, another kudu bull that was bigger jumped out of the bush and ran toward us. That was a big mistake.

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
