Yes it did. Above and beyond.

Well, I sort of did. The Kudu was at the top of my list, and I did score a nice bull with ivory tips. I had an A list of 10 animals, and a B list of 15 more animals. The Sable was on the B list because of its price, over $4,000. But when you see a big one, and your PH says shoot it, hard to say...

Limpopo, near Kruger.

I used their rifle. Winchester 30-06 with a Leopold 10 power scope. Bullets are Bonds TSX, 180 grain.

Long flight, rifle sighted in. Next day we go hunting. We all spotted the three sable as they spotted us and started walking away when the biggest one stopped to scrape his horns on a bush and my PH said shoot as I was already lined up, bam a hit. All three Sable run away, mine veers off into...
