ZAMBIA: Takeri Reserve Zambia

[Hunt anything]

Great report, all of your animals look fantastic. Really like the bush bucks! Congratulations

Thanks! The Sable ended up measuring out at 47.75". I am incredibly happy.

That is a monster! Again truly exceptional…a Sable of a lifetime

ENVY! What an absolutely grand experience! I really enjoyed the write up! Thanks for taking the time to let us live it with you!

Thanks for the great write up Bobby....it was such a pleasure to have you here...was a great hunt, and the rest of the trip to kingfisher and Livingstone were great fun...I was pleased the elephants performed exceedingly well for your madam at Kingfisher, and she got to see all the hippos and crocs she could have desired...the Livingstone part was fun ,and as louise said "with Bobby there is never a dull moment "... ....again I will say it was a real pleasure to have you both come visit...and look forward to hopefully you both coming again, even if just for a holiday...

Oh we are definitely coming back! Please tell Louise my write up did not cover attempts to catch a rat by its tail in Livingstone. I know the ladies did not find it as amusing as I did.

Congratulations on a wonderful trip. That’s a Sable of a lifetime! How did you like Devil’s Pool?

Great write-up about a truly wonderful place and couple with whom to spend some time. As you noted, our Pete @PeteG is the perfect PH to trail around through the bush.

That sable is beyond extraordinary and with those bases to go with that amazing length, it would score well up in the SCI gold rankings (am beginning to wonder if a few giant sable genes haven't slipped across the continent). And what a fantastic old warthog.

I also took my .275 with same load from Hendershots. It was the perfectly balanced choice for Takeri.

You write well. You should add an addendum and take the community along on a couple of those stalks!

I appreciate that and agree on the 275 / 170 grain oryx. The combination was never lacking. Against @spike.t best efforts to reform me, I feel the 7x57 (275) and 375 H&H have me covered on the continent. I will say his 500J is a beautiful rifle! As far as an addendum...I will work on something I feel would be of interest to others. Again, thanks for the response.

Well you did think it was a snakes tail to start with...

Tells you how big the rat was!

Bobby, it was good meeting you a week ago at the end of your safari and the beginning of ours. Like you, we had great time and hunt at Takeri with @spike.t and Pete. Mike just dropped my daughter and me off at the Protea Hotel in Lusaka. I need to get started on my report!

 

[Nyati]

What a great adventure, thank you for taking us along.

Now, anxiously waiting on @375 Ruger Fan to get busy with his report.

Hunting with Mike at Takeri was probably the best trip of my life. I'm glad that you had such a great time.
