fairgameWe did well in Zambia last season.
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.

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

SvinejaktBoth amazing trophies, Zambia seems amazing!
26 February 2014, 14:58
faisalExcellent results. Congratulations to you both.

Thor KirchnerThanks 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!
26 February 2014, 15:42

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.
