Africa...which would you rather have?

[bphillips]

This is what I would do....(But nobody really cares)

Nix the Blesbok and Warthog and Gems(unless he is a 38"+ bull and heavy, If 38"+ and heavy kill him.)
I wouldn't shoot a female even though they do get longer) Put that money towards a 60+" Kudu.

Then I would add the Sable ONLY if he was 40"+....

Oh and go night hunting for a Big Civet too.. Very cool critters.

I want a 40+ sable but not sure I have room for another

Well of course you do... We can just stack the smaller one on the BIG one and make it a double..

Off topic, but what's the avg cost of an african trip after everything is factored in (minus taxidermy costs) for a package like this without the add on animals?

Option A is a valid choice. I have 2 Zebras, one is a shoulder mount the other is a rug shell mount ( like a bear skin rug ) I don't like the flat skin rug with the flat face.

I also have the other 2 on the A list and they are just as beautiful.

As far as the Sable, I just shot a 42 plus inch last August. They are a great trophy, and you will not be disappointed. The price has came way down from $300.00/inch.

So the best advice I can give you is take a look at all of them on the hoof before you pull the trigger, and by all means ( after you have been there a few days ) If you see any one of the ones on the A or B list that make you say OH MY GOD!!!! shoot that one.

A) but a bush buck Bosbok isn't a very common animal. Which ever package lets you hunt / shoot more you are in africa they are all trophies

[lovemylegacy]

Will be heading to Limpopo in June and I'm debating on my additional animals. My definite hit list will be Kudu, Gemsbok, Blesbock, Impala and Warthog.

But my additional animals will either be Option A or B below. For about the same price I can get:

Option A:
Waterbuck
Bushbuck
Zebra

OR

Option B:
Sable

What would you choose? A or B?

Hands down, option B

[NotJose]

Option A, more animals

You're a terrible influence

[Electrican]

A then go back for B list

[bbuck8]

Option B. A Sable is, well, a Sable.

[RLUM]

If you want a sable or a Roan right now is the time to get one, the prices for both are way down.

[jeffpg]

I’d go with Option A. I’ve killed them all and I believe you’ll get a lot more out of the experience with A vs B. That’s just based on my personal experience though, everybody’s different.

Shoot the sable and negotiate in a cheap zebra.

I almost didn't shoot my sable when I went, and now I'm really glad I did.

[tminc]

sable

B - the Sable
