Here's a short video of Gunner's Kudu hunt last September-October. You know it's a nice animal when the tracker PH both get excited like that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCICwu_q9Rs

Jerry, didn't you then shoot it 10 or 12 more times, checking the penetration? They cut that part out :-)

Thanks again John. Biebs, well, yes I did, I even tried the famous tailpipe shot I learned from a man from Florida right here on the 'fire. That 400 gr Woodleigh Weldcore soft point left that rifle at 2255 fps and absolutely pulverized that Kudus shoulder and exited high on the opposite rib cage due to the angle he was standing at, saw it up close and personal in the skinning shed. The shot came quick, we ran out of cover and for some reason that bull turned and looked back, he knew something was trailing them, he just didn't know what.

Thanks Don and Bob, that was my 400 Whelen, 400 grs at an accurate 2255 fps on the '06 sized case is a true testament in efficiency and power. In fact, my PH Kobus proclaimed that rifle [with it's accompanying solid loads] to be the perfect low Bushveld hunting rifle. I was pleasantly pleased to hear that.

They cut that part out :-) Naw, they didn't have a front end loader to heist him up for gunner to use as a bullet testing carcass... He only does that kinda stuff in OK when no one is looking, surely not in Africa with his PH watching and a camera running... On safari, you gotta act like you got some class... DF

Speaking of class, I'd like to apologize to everyone for the chest hair, it was 40 deg celcius, IIRC that's over 100 degrees Fahrenheit and we were on about mile 8 at the shot. The bull measured 56" and 56-5/8th" I later learned how damn lucky I was. It's a very humbling place, I am still grateful for the experience.

I've never worked that hard to spend a little money in my life DF, work usually pays me. Every hot, sun burnt, dusty, dirty, thorn bush mile was well worth the positive mental state you leave there with, and don't mention the memories, they're there several times daily.

In fact, my PH Kobus proclaimed that rifle [with it's accompanying solid loads] to be the perfect low Bushveld hunting rifle. I was pleasantly pleased to hear that. IMO Kobus was right. It was about perfect for where you were and for the game there and a lot of other places in Africa. I sure enjoyed the video, and it's a very nice animal.

That kudu has a beuatiful set of horns on him. Great work and nice video. I noted the nast croc in the opening. That'll make you stay out of the water.

Thank you JG, I've later found that a lot of folks have made repeated trips to Africa in search of a Kudu bull that size, I later saw some pics of 60-64+" bulls that were mind boggling. I can register no complaints, only gratitude. L2S, yes, the little 400 can reach 250 long yards with ease, that'd cover a lot of hunting situations, this 400 build and load development was one of the easiest on record so far for me, it has been quite enjoyable, especially when one punches above it's weight class. Jorge, Thanks you too Sir, glad you liked it. HBB, you best call SARCO and get an action and git one built, you'll love it if you're in need of a heavy medium bore, they're fun to shoot and recoil is very well mannered. Thanks Hatari, bet you have a half dozen Kudu mounts like ole Biebs, damn right on staying on the dirt, as hot as it was, and as much as I wanted to take a dip in the river, I chickedchitted out. Hey Ed, you're able to see the pleasure behind the work in progress facial expressions, you ever consider professional poker? ......................shoulda shaved that mess beforehand, it may sound crazy, but while there in the bush hunting, it makes you want to take your damn shirt completely off and hang it in a back pocket, guess that's why Tarzan never wore a suit. Hello FishN4Eyes, thanks for the compliments, that little 400 gr Woodleigh did not dissapoint.............and you're welcome on the bear hair captioning.

I can't watch the video here due to the hospital's content filters. I'll look at it tonight. I've seen the stills before, though, and it was a great kudu.

I can tell you Hatari's Trophy Room is something to see, among many, a full mount of a friggin' BONGO! First - Gunner that is an awesome kudu!!! And you are right, many people go a long time and never see one that size, let alone shoot it. Second - Jorge, if a full body mount bongo gets you fired up wait til you see a full body of a Lord Derby Eland!! A guy here local has one. I've seen it up close and personal. It will blow your mind. Not to mention he also has a full body bongo, along with a myriad of other trophies.

Every hot, sun burnt, dusty, dirty, thorn bush mile was well worth the positive mental state you leave there with, and don't mention the memories, they're there several times daily. Wait till you hunt buffalo again, or better yet leopard and all doesn't go according to plan... You'll be asking yourself " I'm spending how much money to be this scared???" Ive shot a pile of kudu Gunner, but never one that big. you suck.

LMAO, that ship left port decades ago Stone, all that's left is a shot up busted up worn out old man. Plus, that Kudu turned back to look he was 120+ plus yards out, and we were out of cover, just a 180 degree turn and he would have disappeared down the bank of the mighty Limpopo forever.

Sorry, I couldn't let that one go. I shot that picture last fall when I was in Florida from my 4th floor balcony. I couldn't believe there was actually people out there that would wear something like that. I think he was trolling for a dancing partner.

So when you going back Gunner ? 2017's gonna be it Charles, can't decide to go for the rounding out of the spiral horned five, or go for another buff and leopard! Regardless, I'm truly screwed. Whereabouts Jerry? Mozambique with John at Biggamehuntingadventures.com

That's a great bull! Nice video, for sure. You should have taken the croc as well!

Thanks, and yes, I have thought about a big croc, also, a charging hippo on land would be fun too.

I hear they kill more natives than any other, all people must go to water there, and of course, that's where those two hangout.

Thanks Don and Bob, that was my 400 Whelen, 400 grs at an accurate 2255 fps on the '06 sized case is a true testament in efficiency and power. In fact, my PH Kobus proclaimed that rifle [with it's accompanying solid loads] to be the perfect low Bushveld hunting rifle. I was pleasantly pleased to hear that. Congrats Gunner! And with a BFW, too! GRAND!

And with a BFW, too! GRAND! Thanks WN, we ever get to another pig hunt together, I'll bring that 400 Whelen for you too shoot pigs with your "namesake" if you wish. If you watch the video, enlarge the screen and turn the volume up, stop the video at 25 sec, restart, and you can see the 400 gr Woodleigh strike that bulls shoulder at 26.5 seconds, I later ranged the bank where he was standing at 131 yards.
