I just saw Tom's post about a hunt for Sable and other animals in Zambia in hunts offered. Sable is currently near the top of my most wanted list. The price listed seems good especially considering the other animals. It is really at the top of my budget.... Anyone else seen a good sable hunt for less? I'd still want to shoot a couple of other animals. Looking at the 7-9 days time frame. May be able to get a friend to go if multiple people helps bring the cost down. Just want to see if anyone has any other specials out there before I look further at Tom's offer. Thanks for any help. Bruce
 
Zambia has closed all hunting. Our concession in the Kafue is no more for an undisclosed time.
We do have Sable in South Africa along with a lot of other species if you are interested.
Send me a PM and I can contact you.
 
Zambia is only closed on government land Fritz. Still open on private properties.
 
You are correct Tom. I am so disappointed in the whole fiasco that is costing us a fortune that I made a silly mistake. Apology from my side.
 
Hi Bruce

The Outfit that I hunt with is offering a Trophy Sable with a trophy fee of $8500 are you wanting to put a package together or just the Sable and add trophies while you hunt? Is this going to be a rifle hunt or a bow hunt? Thanks Bob

This is one of the Sable taken last year. I counted over 30 or 40 while I was there in June.

No problem Fritz! I will eventually get over and do a bowhunt with you sometime. Its about time you posted another real life crazy hunting story!

Sorry for the time that I was absent. I was in Central Africa for a while and only came back a few weeks ago. Things are hectic with Zambia closing and moving clients over to our Mozambique concession. I shall put some word on paper again one of these days.
Cheers

I would jump all over Tom's deal. Those Zambia ranches produce monster sable. I went on a $14k package deal for sable, defasau waterbuck, livingstone eland, bone zebra, and impala. I ended up shooting all those animals and having a great time. My sable measured out at 48" and we saw several over 44". Trust me, those Zambia game farms are real hunts like here in the us and the sable in those areas are absolutely massive. Well worth the price. The quotes I got for bulls over 46" were well north of $30k because most can make more money by selling them within Zambia as breeding bulls. If things go my way this year and time allows I will definitely be taking a few of those packages.
 
Hey Bruce heres another animal for you to look at. Bob

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
Here we are, the last day of the show in Denver, it's been a good show but expecting a quiet day today. I will be back for-sure to do this show next year and maybe also do the one in Sacramento California.

On Monday I will be hitting the road driving from Denver and eventually make it down to Atlanta for the flight home.

its going to be a good year!

Hi Rem280, Saw your post on getting selected for Idaho Elk. Do you have a zone(s) selected? I live in N Idaho, might be able to offer some ideas.

Cheers,

Craig
