My oldest boy 6 years ago took this bull at a little over 300 yards. Rabies outbreak the year before our safari had done a number on the Kudu population in this part of Namibia. Bull measured right at 50" if memory serves correctly. A few years ago my youngest boy stalk his Cape Kudu all day in the mountains of Tarkastad South Africa. Finally got a shot at last light. Just a touch over 51" for this bull.

Oh what the hell, here's one from a rookie's maiden voyage. I hope to get him back from the taxidermist pretty soon:

Heres my one and only. Gorgeous bull from South Africa. One of my better shots too. 353 yards, no turrets, slight right to left breeze... drilled his heart. The PH and landowner were quite impressed, as was I!

Really nice bulls everyone. Kudu, Sable and Eland are my favorite plainsgame animals to hunt. This is my best from Zim in '01. 56" Mike

Check out the ivory horn tips on this bull.
