Here is my eastern cape Kudu I got just over the border from the Cape in the Karoo of the Northern Cape. Most Eastern Cape Kudu will not go much over 49". Damn fun hunt alot more challenging than I thought. Did lots of hiking up mountains and hills for 2 days to over look river bottoms only to see smaller Kudu. I had to do a 1 1/2 - 2 mile stock on this one up a dry river bed. Crawling the last 1/2 a mile to not be spotted my him or the 10 cows he was with. In the end I shot him at 260 yards off of shooting sticks on my tip toes with rocks under my heals to get up over a bush. Very exciting hunt. Hunting for Eastern Cape Kudu is exciting. This was a fair chase hunt very rewarding. The only fences on this farm were 3 foot high (to keep the sheep penned it), and a kudu can easily clear a 7 foot fence.
