Looks like a great hunt. We are working with an outfitter, putting a trip together for end of April into May. Would be interested in your overall observations.

Looks like an awesome trip! Congrats and thanks for sharing. Great photos and trophies there.

I've got some customers in South Africa would love to get a chance to work some hunting in on my next trip down there (whenever that may be).

The one animal I would really want to hunt in Africa would be sable. What a striking animal. Congratulations on some wonderful trophies! And thanks for sharing all the great photos.
