Aaron,

Saw Jim Shockey's show last nite and this looks like the exact same place he went and he pulled down a really nice Sitatunga with his muzzleloader.
On his show he said what a great time he had there. It didn't show him hunting a sable but at the very beginning it did show a picture of one that was friggin' HUGE! I was on the couch yelling at the tv - Jim shoot it!!!

Bluefin - You are correct! Jim hunted with Richard in his Kafue block in 2008 for Sitatunga. We booked him on the hunt, but he was not after Sable. He did however do the Kafue & Black Lechwe as well. The area has some fantastic sable, I have personally passed several 42" - 43" bulls on numerous occasions.

Look forward to seeing you in the C.A.R. in a couple weeks.
