Dave. Enjoyed your telling of the story of the red sable at FTW. He is a great old fella. Excellent he fell to you and not predators.

Thanks guys
Yes, that hunt will be a part of a upcoming episode of Tracks Across Africa . Really a sable factory at Nchila, he is not even close to the biggest Craig and I saw there. A grand old bull for sure and I will be honored to have him relocate to Ft. Worth as soon as Dan at The Wildlife Gallery has him mounted. One of my best trophies, no doubt.

That is a great Sable.

Is it just me or is the colour a bit more brown than normal for a mature Sable. The few I saw in RSA were very black.

Dave Fulson

He was very old, and wounded badly in a rear leg which got him kicked out of the breeding and I believe resulted in his more brown coloration.
I have seen that before in other sable, but as you saw that did not make me pass that opportunity!!!!
