SOUTH AFRICA: 56" Inch Cape Kudu Hunt With Karoo Wild Safaris

[KAROO WILD Safaris]

Karoo Wild Safaris - Eastern Cape, South Africa

We're currently hunting with the Burton family (Tim, Deb, Jordan and Brooke) and friend Colin Pietz from Wisconsin. PH Arnold Klaasen and Jordan shot this cape kudu bull a couple of days ago. He measures L=56 3/4, R=55, Bases 9.5 per side. Jordan was looking for something completely different and he certainly got what he bargained for. Although far from a classic kudu bull, once officially measured he's expected to be near the top of the SCI book for Cape Kudu. Like Arnold so humbly says "even a blind chicken can pick up a piece of corn once in awhile". Well done to Jordan on an outstanding hunt and once in a lifetime trophy.

Jordan also hunted a blesbuck, springbuck, impala, nyala, bushbuck and blue wildebeest

After 14 fruitless days in Zimbabwe last year, Colin and PH Craig got a fantastic Cape Buffalo after 4 days of hard hunting. He followed that up with a red lechwe and a kudu.

Jordan's father Tim, hunted with Nibbs and they began their hunt with a great sable. During the course of the week Tim has hunted hard and taken an eland, springbuck, nyala and bushbuck. He shot a kudu in "deepest darkest" Africa and it took the whole force of the hunting team to recover it from where it lay precariously on a mountain.

Well done guys on a great hunt so far! It's been an absolute fun week of laughter and hunting. Last hunting day today...

Nice trophies, a great hunt that the family will long remember. Judging from the report I doubt it will be their last African hunt.

Great trophies! Congrats to the hunters.

Now that 14 days if hunting in Zim and not getting a trophy would be a story to hear!

Here are also some pics of two recent hunts. The first was with Van and Diane from Artistry Outwest Taxidermy in Weippe, Idaho. Their friends Dave and Rich joined them.
