Thumbs up How's this for a Kudu

Dennis Harris who owns The Artistry of Wildlife in Marlette, Michigan mounted this Kudu bull. Great job Dennis!

Very good taxidermy work indeed.

To get to my pet gripe, first onto the soap box, then....

The kudu is a nice specimen in prime breeding age. How do I know that? The tips of his horns point "inwards". A really mature and old kudu ram [I know you're quite correct, but I'm so used to say kudu bull that even typing kudu ram goes against the grain a bit] point "outwards". IMHO a "true trophy kudu" is so old that the ivory tips point outwards! A very good trophy kudu has some magical length of horn in addition to the first requirement. Being a xy.z-incher does not make a kudu a good trophy, it only does if the horn tips point outwards!

OK Off my soap box now.

In good hunting.
