Looking on FB Scott Van Zyl posted a picture of a Kudu that is 61-3/4 and 64". He owns SS Pro Safaris. I hunted with him a couple of years ago. He has people book for Kudus over 60". Not sure how to post the pic but if someone knows it's pretty impressive.

This pic comes close!

Wow!

That's incredible. A 63" KUDU just sold at Auction a few months back in SA for 9 million rand. Purely using it to breed though...

I shot a 52" on my first day and was happy as heck with that.

Never get tired of looking at, or hunting for big kudu. It's really addicting IMO. I was happy as heck with my 55" bull a couple of years ago from Namibia.

Tract....a 52" bull is a heckuva bull. Got a pic?

Just superb. What an animal.

I can't wait to get back there, 2018 trip in the planning.

First Kudu bull.


Second Kudu bull.

I want another Kudu now...thanks Ken...

Any time.

Back in 2010 I hunted Coutada Nine in Mozambique with Mokore Safaris. Four or five hundred thousand acres of unfenced East African heaven. The number of kudu (and other game) was simply amazing.

If somebody would ever want to hunt free range kudu with the possibility of shooting a 60" bull this is the place I would recommend.

To all posting pics, Great shots but I don't think I like you guys much anymore,,,,

Mike, Very impressive animal! What did he measure out to? and how long to chase him down?

Not so big, but still my best one:

Great pics guys, please keep posting them up.

Here's mine taken a couple of years ago in Namibia. I think about it almost every day.

My good friend Snellstrom with his heavy horned 51 inch Cape Kudu from extreme South Africa

My first one...in my office...cant find a pic of him....



My second one...this one was an 'oops!'




My third one...




The only one shot with a scope was the next one....


Ingwewifes only one....

Nice kudu!

Ingwe wife's has awesome curl

My Cape Kudu is short and thin.....only 46"

But what he lacks in length/mass he more than made it up with deep curls

He would have been a nice one in 3 or 4 more years

Here is my bull from 2010 in South Africa with Kei River Safaris.

I understand Lin Stanton (Mbalabala Safaris) had a client kill a 55" kudu in Zim this year. Now that is a nice animal.

Namibia 2013

Just after we received our trophies, wife's Oryx flanked by my Kudu

Here's my youngest daughter's kudu shot when she was 16:


Almost 61" on one horn and 60" on the other.

Shot in Zimbabwe in 2014. I'll never top it!

Proud of the kid, all 115 lbs of her shot it with my .375 H&H.

Kudos to you FishN4Eyes for getting your daughter out there!

+1

^That is certainly a kudu of a lifetime! And only 16.

Thanks for sharing.

I have 4 mounted. I think this one is from Namibia....56 and change.

So what is the measure? Follow the spiral or a simple T?

Start at the skull, measuring around the curve atop the ridge. Full "score" combines both lengths and the circumference of both horns at the base. (People usually just give the length of one horn.)

Here's a nice bull we got earlier this year.



Longest horn measured 61"

Here's mine from this year Northern Cape, RSA. 57.5"

beauty!

My first and only Kudu.
