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.
