The hunter I had with me did not want to spend the money on the trophy fee. I just about said I would loan it to him. However I know plenty of guys who would love to have the chance at him next year when our season begins again. We are done hunting for this year and this big bull will be waiting for us! Any guesses as to how big this bruiser will be?

:grin: Big enough for ME! I'd love a chance to go to Africa someday and the Kudu would be at the top of my list!

I think I would take out a load to be able to take a bull like that! WOW!

JJ, not sure if I will ever make it to Africa, but I sure like reading your stories. Thanks.

Is there a pawn shop over there that will take eye teeth or whatever? Lawdog

JJ,

How many inches do you estimate his horns to be? Over 50 inches?

Sometimes we see bulls we have never seen before. This one is typical of that. I was only seconds from killing him myself. I corrected that poor judgement just in time!

I have seen plenty of bulls at or near 60 inches. We killed one this season that was 60 exactly. I don't know what this one was but I know he was much bigger then the 60 incher we took this year. If I had to guess I would say 64-65" range. I would not be surprised at all if was even bigger then that!
