Yea I climbed up kudu mountain and stalked around it for miles. On the mountain opposite of us, a big bull was working his way down across to us. I had him at 388 yards but he quickly ran off. We continued stalking across this rock ledge that was about 50 feet to the top of the mountain which was a plateau. Finally setup on this giant after awhile. I was lobsided on a steep decline hunched over my rifle on shooting sticks for about 30 minutes until he walked out. I saw the horns first and had some buck fever but I smashed him right and I recovered the bullet, 175gr barnes lrx

Need to put the bullet on the mount when you get it back

Horn length? Would be curious as to how much weight the bullet retained as well as approx penetration

Havent taped it yet but I believe it is at 50”. Ill weigh the bullet once I am home and the bullet broke the neck & the top of the right shoulder and came to rest right up against the skin on the opposite shoulder. You could feel the bullet through the hide. He was at a very strange angle but since his beck got hit he was DRT other than sliding 30 feet down the hill and coming to rest by a very tall aloe tree

Very Nice-a

Need to be sure to pack that bullet in your gun case with your checked luggage. Clean it with hot water and dish soap and do not say it was recovered from an animal.

You need to fill one of those horns with beer and celebrate like an apex predator.

Couldn't have said it better myself!

No problem. I am about 7 hours from landing in ATL. Once I am back and settled I will post way more pictures

Be careful with that bullet. My neighbor tried to bring one back in his pocket and was detained by customs and after a hour they let him go but confiscated his bullet.
