John and Kevin discuss everything kudu in this episode: how big they get, where they live, why they’re different from other species of plains game, and how to hunt them. As always, we talk about cartridge and bullet selection as well as terminal ballistics.  Kevin’s takeaway? Kudu are a magnificent animal that deserve their status as one of Africa's premier species of game to hunt. Not only are they an elusive animal that's challenging to hunt, but they look fantastic on the wall serving as a memento for decades after the hunt is complete!
