A week of great kudu hunting at Blaauwkrantz

Dr Leonard Deal from Texas, spent a week at Blaauwkrantz and hunted mainly for kudu but also hunted some excellent representatives of other species we have to offer here. On the second afternoon of his hunt Dr Deal shot at an impressive bull and because it was late in the afternoon we decided to return in the morning to look for the bull as it fell to the ground and jumped up after the shot, giving me the indication that the shot might be high on the shoulder or "skof". The next morning we returned and after a short tracking expedition, my tracker Jeffrey, found this massive 53,2/8" pure East Cape bull lying dead. On the last day of of the 6 day hunt and after turning down countless other bulls we spotted a narrow horned bull that looked like it would measure. Leonard made an excellent shot and the bull went down. On closer inspection it was so old that it had no front teeth left and the longest horn was also over 50"! There were four other hunters in camp last week too, and amongst them they shot five more magnificent, old East Cape kudu bulls. Blaauwkrantz can rightly claim the title to "The best kudu hunting in the world".

  1. Are you people crazy, is it not bad enough that we have to endure the real duck hunting season and now this, duck hunting on line, give us a break already. While I'm at it, what did we ever do to make you start shooting at us in the first place? https://kidhunting.wordpress.com/

  2. That first week of Deer bow season had been tough for me. The temperature is always up the mid-80s in Western Arkansas. Needless to say one does not have to wear heavy clothing or even long sleeves while hunting during this time. huntingpedia
