Awsome Kudu

Nice!!  That is the hard part - getting everything in tact.  My crate came to my work address.  Pretty fun day at work getting into that crate, especially when many were non-hunters.  I killed a Pofadder (deadly snake) with my bow after nearly stepping on him.  I wanted the tanned skin but it never showed up in the crate.  You took a great Kudo and Black Wildebeest.  Both were on my list, but eluded me.  Maybe next time!

Yeah, my PH wouldn't even be in a photo with me holding the snake.  He wouldn't even ride in the Landcruiser either!  Looked like a rattler to me so I shot it.  He freaked out and ran.  I'm standing there with a 3" snake hanging off my Judo point like, what's the fuss?  Saw a few Mambas too but only at night and a couple dead on the road.

Those are some cool racks.  Don't no much about the big game hunting down there, but those look like some fun critters to hunt from what I've seen on video/pics.  Congrats on the hunts.  Were there hunt pics on here? I must of missed em
