Hey guys just got back from Africa. I've had bad luck with kudu in the past well the spell is broken!!
Besides being the first nice kudu I've ever killed this is the first big game animal I've ever taken with a bow. I shot him from a blind over a water hole at 17 yards. i hit him behind the shoulder with a carbon 6575 arrow tipped with a 125 gr G-5 montech broadhead.
At the shot the bull trotted off for about 40 yards and layed down never to get up again I saw him go down from the blind.
As i was waiting for him to expire a troop of baboons came in to the water and noticed the kudu down. They went over to him and started to taunt the dying kudu. That was an amazing thing to see! After about twenty minute I got out of the blind which spooked to baboons.
Being my first bow kill my first good kudu and the first day of the trip it was a great day!!
Needless to say we had a bit of a celibration in camp that night!!
