Kudu Hunting in Namibia

• Kudu bulls carry horns; cows have none
• Bulls are also larger and have a thick, strong neck
• Secondary horn growth (a clearly visible second growth of the horn)
• Fully hardened, worn horn base
• Whether the tips point outward has nothing to do with age, but with genetics. Very old bulls can – in rare cases – reach 2.5 turns
