I am almost speechless. What a real toad of a sable. Absolutely great animal. You had a safari that almost anyone would envy. My hat is off to you. Bruce

I know I already posted but I keep looking at that sable and thinking "you damned lucky B_*^%$&!" I am so jealous. That is the one PG animal that has eluded me every single year. What a magnificent Sable.

Duh!! Book with Andrew. The 43 incher I shot with him in 2012 is the dwarf among those taken since. I suspect you would have been happy with it !! I was.

Well done to you and Andrew that was an awesome result. Royal Kafue is indeed a very special place and when teamed up with Adam next door very hard to beat. What an amazing hunt.

I only skimmed the report, so can you just tell me where in Angola you killed that giant sable?

Wow!

The hartebeest might somehow technically score higher, but if it was twice as long it would never be the trophy that sable is

My goodness, you had a hell of a good hunt. Congrats on those animals. Some fine trophies for sure.

Truly remarkable trophies gents, well done all around. I agree with Mike, that bloody sable has to have some Giant Sable genetics in him somewhere. Astounding!

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.

What an incredible hunt you had, Steve! Congratulations to you and Andrew for a job well done. Yes, a lifesize mount of an amazing sable will be quite the trophy.

Beautiful collection, all of them!
What I really enjoyed besides the fine writing and great pictures is you named each animal. For some of us not as familiar with them that's a great help. I thank you for that part especially. And congratulations on a perfect hunt.

The Sable maybe 10 plus and the Roan could be as old as 15. Both rarely exceed 16 - 17 in the wild,

You set the bar here pretty high gentlemen. I couldn't think of any other place on the planet where such a magnificent bull could be taken.

Although, it makes me wonder/wish if there is another one JUST like him in the Royal Kafue? Hmmm...

The next door PH Adam Buske took a 48.5 last year and as Sable are great wanderers you never know what will move in during the rains.

However I always have stated that a mature bull in the 40 inch class is a very worthy trophy indeed.
