Anyone been there ? Seen pics of a MONSTER Kudu taken from there. Just curious if anyone has insight into the game, PH, and overall experience.
Hunting kudu in the Eastern Cape can get tricky. The Eastern Cape Kudu, a sub-species (I think) of the Southern Greater Kudu, is a smaller bodied animal, as a rule, and sometimes, the horns, which are also generally a bit smaller the the Southern, can appear proportionally larger on the smaller bodies animal. A PH with experience with both types of kudu can tell them apart easily. I can't.
Having said that, the picture Brickburn posted seems a monster!
The home range for the Eastern Cape Kudu is only a small pocket that is quite a bit further east and up the coast a bit. I'm confident there wouldn't be any around this location.

SCI treats them as separate for record book purposes. I don't think Rowland Ward does though not certain.No, the same!
That is an Awesome animal who was you hunting with? The markings are outstanding! Do you have a pic showing the side of the face? Love those spots.View attachment 40828 I just got back from an Eastern Cape, free range hunt. Here's mine
Great Trophy! What are your plans for the mount? I'd have a hard time cutting a shoulder cape from that kudu after seeing those markings.I was hunting with Mankazana Safaris. I'll look Bob, and post if i find any photos ofView attachment 40839 the side of his face. Here is one of the back. He did have a lot of stripes. Thanks, Kevin
