Although the official measurements have yet to be announced it would seem PH Thor Kirchner's Chobe Bushbuck was the largest taken in Zambia.



And my Sable was the 5 largest ever recorded here.

Congratulations, Andrew! The game management program seems to be paying off, it was a hell of a season, and I hope you continue with more of the same for the future.

Precisely. Never look a gift Sable (or Bushbuck) in the mouth. Get out of the truck and shoot it! Smiler

Thanks Andrew! 2013 was the most satisfying season on Munyamadzi so far and it's only getting better. And even though cats were closed you and me got to hunt one!

I believe I had the same bushbuck in my sights a couple of years ago and hunted him hard thereafter but to no avail. Who knows maybe it was another? The trophy quality for Bushbuck here is phenomenal and my best was 18 plus.

Yes at Umpangalla. It had horns of a Nyala. But never saw it again. You would be hard pressed to find a better place for the Chobe.

I would not have shot them, I would have waited for an old broomed off specimen.

"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......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."
