Kudu Hunting South Africa

One Of The Most Sought After Spiral Horn Trophies, Hunted In A Great Safari Location

Greater Kudus have a narrow body with long legs, and their coats can range from brown/bluish grey to reddish brown. They possess between 4 and 12 vertical white stripes along their torso.

The head of the greater kudu tends to be darker in colour than the rest of the body and exhibits in a small white chevron which runs between their eyes.

Greater kudu bulls tend to be much larger than the cows, and vocalize much more.  The greater kudu bulls also have beards running along their throats and large horns with two and a half twists, which were they to be straightened would reach an average length of 47 in with the record being 73.87 in.

The horns of the greater kudu do not begin to grow until the bull is between the ages of 6-12 months.  The kudu horns form the first spiral rotations at around 2 years of age and not reaching the full two and a half rotations until they are 6 year old; occasionally they may even have 3 full turns. 

The greater kudu are one of the largest species of antelope.  Greater kudu bulls weigh 420-600 lb with a maximum of 694 lb and stand up to 63 in tall at the shoulder.  The ears of the greater kudu are large and round.

The greater kudu female are hornless and without a beard or nose markings and weigh 260-460 lb and stand as little as 39 in tall at the shoulder.
