Anyone hunted the Selous lately?

I haven’t hunted there yet, but have a 16-day hunt booked on MA1/Madaba for next August with Alan Vincent. We expect it to be excellent.
 
I have just concluded a 2 month stint from 22nd August to 16th October in an abnormally very dry northern part of the Selous and it was the first time in as many years to see the Selous so dry as a direct result of a rainy season which had not materialised as it should; waterholes and springs that never went dry were dusty pans and rivulets where water once trickled were no more. Game was scarce and had concentrated in areas which still had permanent sources of water, though their general physical condition was distressing as lack of water and forage had taken its toll. Hopefully November wil bring on the much needed short rains and hopefully again, the traditional long rains (March to May) will bring the conditions back to normal. Hunting was hard but successful.

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
