ZAMBIA: Classic Sable, Classic Caliber Hunt With spike.t At Takeri Reserve Zambia

[375 Ruger Fan]

One week from today, my daughter and I are heading to Mike Taylor's (aka @spike.t ) Takeri Game Reserve in Zambia. We'll be hunting with @PeteG


We hope to get a couple of these:

Using a 404 Jeffery for me and a 7x57 for my daughter, Elise.

While enjoying a few of these around the fire each evening

Best luck to you and your hunting partner!

 

[Hunter-Habib]

Go get ‘em. Flame grilled Sable chops are magnificent !
I shot this particular fellow with a .30-06 Springfield, but often also use my 7x57mm Mauser for sable as well. The 175Gr Hornady Interlock (loaded by Hendershots Custom Ammunition) is an excellent bullet in the 7x57mm Mauser for even the largest of bull sable.

Good luck to all. Safe travels and shoot straight.

Awesome, look forward to the report! Jealous on all fronts, but the fact that you will be enjoying quite possibly the best beer in Africa

Love that beer, and definitely hope you find some of those sable!

 

[WAB]

You’re killing me! That’s my favorite African beer!

 

[IvW]

Good luck on your safari, waiting for the report.

Good for you. Father, Daughter hunts are the best

 

[gillettehunter]

Best of luck to you and your daughter. Nice looking rifles. You'll find Mike to be a great host. I loved hunting Takari a few years ago. Beautiful place in the middle of nowhere. Anything besides sable on the list? They have a lot of blue duiker as well as some excellent Chobe bushbuck. Be safe and shoot straight!!

Can't wait to read the report. Best to Pete and Mike.

 

[Tucketed]

Excellent, one of these days.

 

[typilotguy]

Safe travels and good hunting! Reading this nearly brought a tear to my eye, as I look forward to taking my daughter one day. She's just over 6 months, so it'll be a little while, but I cannot wait.

Look forward to hearing about your trip.

What else is on the list other than the sable?
