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.
I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
