Idaho SharpshooterI know this is a silly question, but: the sable doesn't care, so why would it cost a thousand dollars more to shoot him with a rifle than stick him with an arrow? Not being crabby, just curious.

martin pietersHi Rich
There are other costs involved when hunting with a rifle for example vehicle and fuel useage over the 10 day period. Martin

Idaho Sharpshooterdo you hunt them differently with a bow VS rifle?
I hunted Zimbabwe last December, and Myles McCallom didn't care if I hunted them with a boomerang.

Code4I'm guessing a bow hunter would spend more time in hides with less cost in vehicle use. A rifle hunter would spend more time in a vehicle spotting and stalking.

martin pieters+1, bow hunters spend a lot more time in blinds, while rifle hunters cover a lot more time in vehicles.

craneMartin- Is this Peter's Cawston ranch, formerly represented by Ron Oliver? If so, did the ranch take on a "partner"? There were/are rumors flying about partners and occupation so please give a few details about recent history. It was, at one time, the home of the largest private sable herd in Zim. Thank you.

Jerry HuffakerCrane,
Ron Oliver is still the main booking agent for Cawston. Cawston is not occupied and hasn't had any problems.

martin pietersHi Crane
Jerry is correct, Ron Oliver books a lot for Peter Johnstone ( has done for many years ), but after last years limited bookings due to the economy, Peter wants to make sure that he sells everything, hence he contacted me. I operate the Omay North and South, and use Cawston often as a sable plains game area for my clients. And yes, it still is home to the largest private herd of sable in Zimbabwe.
Peter Johnston of Rosslyn safaris is in no way affiliated with any member of the banned list, he does not have a " partner", and I being a commitee member of ZPHGA ( Zimbabwe proffesional hunters and guides association ), and on the executive board of SOAZ ( safari operators association of Zimbabwe) , only deal with reputable operators.
I hope that answers your questions!

Use Enough GunMartin: What can you expect, on average, by way of horn length on Sable on the ranch?

Bill CHere's a pict of a 41" sable my father-in law (rslus) shot at Cawston's in 2006:
He also took a 40.5" eland, giraffe, bushbuck, impala, tsessebe and genet.

martin pietersThe 2010 sable quota on Cawston is 16 bulls/years ( out of a population of approx 800 ), the avearge bull taken is around 39", however several bulls are taken that break 40" with the largest on record 43.5".

Adam ClementsBill - tell your father in law I like his T-Shirt.
I also sent clients to Cawston this year and can back what Martin has posted. It is an excellent area for plains game & sable.
