Big Sable
Just spent a couple of days in my new Kafue property and took some photos of this brute. I reckon he is 46 plus.

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

Impressive bull.


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Damn fine. Beautiful bull. My focus animal on my next trip over.

As a side question, do the TZ Roosevelt variety ever attain lengths over the "magical" 40" mark? I always hear that they are smaller, but by just how much? I'd be interested in hearing from you guys who've hunted them.

the sable i shot in Moz. was classified as a Roosevelt sable by the game officials there- and he was over 40 inches. and we saw another of others just as large.

Yes +40" Roosevelt sable are found but you have to hold out for them.
