    Default My first kudu

    Hi guys

    I went hunting on the 4th of july at Bedford Eastern Cape. Where i shot my first kudu it measured in at 43 inches. What size is know the be a trophy in the Eastern Cape. I shot it with my .308 mauser with 150gr bullets. It's a new rifle that was made for me and this is my first buck with it. It came trotting threw at about 250m and i shot it a bit high with my first shot, but got it good in the neck with the second one while it was running away at about the same distance. What do you think a kudu this size will weigh as we didn'Attachment 4841t get a chance to weigh it

    I type under HUGE correction here... and it is difficult to judge from the picture... but the kudu we hunted in the Steytlerville-area all slaughtered out at around 110 - 140kg. I'd guess yours is there-abouts or so.

    Makes me think back of when I shot my first Kudu. I was stalking a beautiful Impala ram for about an hour or so, when a fine looking Kudu bull comes trotting by out of nowhere and I just could not resist.

    Congrats and well done on your first Kudu.
