Judging Sable

wswat - If he looks to have mass and age (thick chest, dark black, sagging belly, etc...) and most importantly, you have enjoyed the stalk and you think he is beautiful...put him on the wall and don't worry about the inches.
 
Buff-Buster has to continue to torture me with his avatar :hail:....one day me an Mr. Sable will have a meeting :). On the last trip, I said "bang" with my gun pointed at a nice sable, no monster but he was "nice".

Sorry Eric..not the intent for sure...lol I've always said "I'd rather be lucky , than good". That was definately the case with my Sable. I'd love to be there when you and Mr Sable have that meeting! Drinks would be on me!

These are all nice trophies above......Sable are one of the most majestic of the Antelope anywhere...

Here is one I shot in June of this year in Limpopo Province.. Horns measured 44"

One frontal shot at 224 Yds. Using my Griffin and Howe 30.06.

There is no Ground Shrinkage on these guys. (Bigger than they Look when u get close)

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)
