Not a tape measure guy!! I know the Sable went 43 because Andrew remarked on it. I think he said the Roan was 27, but I could be wrong. I don't know on the Sitatunga or Defassa Waterbuck.

I'll see if Andrew would care to chime in.

Without looking at my records I think the Crawshay's went 25 plus and the Sitatunga 23 1/2?

Are you talking TMA sheep! Have never drawn that tag, YET...... Maybe one year. Sheep hunting is my ONE dream that I can make happen every year!

Yes, the TMA. I am headed to the Brooks this year though.

I noted earlier in your post that you once lived on the rez at ft defiance. I always am amazed to read on here when people have actually lived in areas I hunt with regularity. I just recently shared a plane ride with a nurse who works there. Her son was is a UFC fighter and was fighting George St Pierre in Montreal last November.

I simply love that area. I was hunting a 400 class bull there last year and have taken many very large elk and deer in the area. Its definitely a neat place and one I hold in high regard.

Probably my second favorite place I've lived next to Alaska. Lots of changes since the 80's though.

I can honestly say the bones cost more than the gold or the setting.

Jon,

I showed Joyce your post and she smiled.

"I guess that makes me a trophy wife. Now I don't have to do any chores".

Thanks a lot Jon.

"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."

Thanks for the bump! I haven't read this for quite a while. It's been over 4 years and once I started reading all the sights, smells, and sounds came roaring back.

So glad Andrew and Royal Kafue have flourished.

Cheers
Jim

Well, the roof must look tasty to an elephant.

Yes, we recognize that same hut...

Great memories, great hunt, great PH, great camp and staff, and some great trophies!

Thanks for the link Jim. It was good to see those pictures again!

I am hunting Sitatunga with Andrew this year, so it was good to see yours again.

That is a NICE Sitatunga. Congrats once again!

Jim;

This was a fantastic report and your trophies are spectacular. So great to read and see again especially after hunting with Andrew and in the same beautiful camp. I'm so glad you posted the link.

What a team...you, Joyce and Andrew! I know from videos and knowing you all there was much laughter in camp! (Maybe a little champagne too.)

Well done!!!! Hugs, Darin
