Thank you for the most enjoyable article. It was nice to read a balanced and objective review of an African hunt.

| Excellent article, not to long ,just right. only one thing missing, as in all stories, and that is, why is everyone afraid to include a total cost i.e. home to hunt --hunt ---hunt to home? |

| Cost is a personal issue that would largely depend on how the hunter approaches his/her hunt. I believe that it must be difficult to put an exact price on a hunt if you were to keep in mind that some hunters do all the arrangements themselves, while others prefer to use the services of a booking agent. All about personal preferences I guess? |

| I really enjoyed your article. I got the opportunity to hunt kudu in South Africa a few years back. I had a great time. |

Great article - just thought I'd mention that Kudu (Greater Kudu) numbers have taken a real bashing over winter - anthrax and rabies will do that every time and these last few years have seen some amazing numbers of Kudu and Gemsbok in Southern Africa.
So, if you fancy a trophy Kudu, be sure to clarify that with your Agent before you go as some locations are much better than others!
Personally speaking, I know 2 farms that have HUGE Kudu and Eland - much larger than some of the more mainstream examples, still gold medals, but not as exceptional as 60+ inch examples - so if this is what you want - be sure your agent and outfitter know well in advance!
Cheers
ps - here's me at sundown with a 58 incher in the back of my pick-up. He was a Gold Medal winner and we took just under 160kg of dressed meat from the carcass (circa 350lbs) - now that's a lot of Kudu!
