    SOUTH AFRICA: My First Time, First Day. South Africa Hunt.

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...

    SOUTH AFRICA: My First Time, First Day. South Africa Hunt.

    I was surprised that he got up and ran again after he initially when down. He ran with such power and strength. I was very impressed with the trackers to stay on his trail for a couple of miles with all the other animals running around.

    SOUTH AFRICA: Part 2, Second Week Of Hunting

    Thank you. I ran into another one a few days later that was much bigger, but it was my first year hunting Africa and I did not want to get to greedy. Maybe not greedy, but to far over budget, which I already was.

    SOUTH AFRICA: My First Time, First Day. South Africa Hunt.

    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...
