A Kudu bull is one of the most spectacular trophies that
Africa can produce, with its spiral horns and great stature.
They are a browsing species and found in Savannah woodland.
They form small herds of 6 - 10 animals. They are very
proficient jumpers and only a 3m or higher fence will
stop them from going over. The hoarse bark that Kudu make
is reputed to be the loudest made by any antelope. The
bulls do fight for the mating rights to a group of females,
but these fights seldom result in injuries or death. Instances
have been recorded where 2 bulls died after their horns
became interlocked and they could not get free, thus dying
of starvation. Kudu live in thick bush and are difficult
species to hunt, but a large Kudu trophy will be the talk
of any trophy collection.
