[Albert GRANT]

Unfortunately not...luckily for you as the wages paid here aren't too high....so you would be here for years....mind you now I said that am sure some will think that is great....

That would be me!

Mike have the Eland and zebra recovered? Sable, puku, bushbuck, zebra, reedbuck, eland, and the duikers would make a heckava trip too!

Last question Mike. Can the trophies be shipped directly from Lusaka to USA without going to Jo’berg or elsewhere where in Africa. Like Lusaka-Istanbul-SFO or what’s the shipping route?

Not a 100% certain, but I am fairly sure they ship on Qatar. Mine will be shipping to DFW

If someone can buy my recently rebuilt and restored Land Rover Defender, I would have the cash to go!

Zebra looking up...eland bought a bull as all poached...but not many, as only a few females were left...and expensive to buy...can sort you a price for the rest in your list....you have been threatening to come for bout 10 years now.....just saying

Thanks Mike for the nice call on WhatsApp. I look forward to seeing you in '26...wish it was sooner!

To the forum...I'm not sure why this one hasn't gotten more attention. This is a fantastic deal to include trophy fees, etc. People are paying 7k just to add a one day hunt for Kafue lechwe in other areas and they are already on this property ready to go! Big sable...lots of blue duiker...puku...Defassa waterbuck...16km of riverfront on the property...come on! I'm talking to a friend about joining me but regardless, I look forward to this.

About 4 months left till we arrive in Zambia and at Takeri.

Mike has some amazing sable. I just mounted this one which came from Takeri.

The Sable pictured above is the second fantastic bull I took on Takeri. It's the one in my avatar. That will always be one my favorite hunts. The fact that we did it in October 2020 in the middle of Covid made it challenging but it was worth it.

You’re right about the deal on the Lechwe. Depending on where you’re hunting a trip out to the flats for one can easily be $7k+ and take 3 days

Man - if somebody buys my Defender - I might have the cash to go!

Yea Bill for sure. That's what caught my attention...it's Zambia and 10 days (not 7) with trophy fees being covered for...

Sable
Kafue lechwe
Defassa waterbuck
Chobe bushbuck
Blue duiker
Puku
Kudu
Blue wildebeest

By the way, when I asked Mike about blue duiker, he said yea man, we got LOTS of blue duiker. He said they see very few common duiker but have a lot of the blues there close by on the property. That's awesome. Then you've got Kafue lechwe ON the property not an all day bust your balls ride to find them on the flats. You've got big sable...puku right there...and the rest of the list plus a few others like zebra, warthog, etc.

Why this doesn't get more bookings is not logical to me. It's good enough that it will be my first trip in the last 6 to not focus on DG. That takes a lot to sway my focus but I don't have several of these species so I'm looking forward to it. Also, seeing new country and hanging out with Mike will be great.

What I can't understand is why anyone would go to the Limpopo to shoot a similar bag behind a fence for half again to twice the cost. Moreover, there would be no Kafue Lechwe, Defassa Waterbuck, Puku, or Blue Duiker.

 

[wesheltonj]

That is a great price for Zambia. I can attest that Mike has some BIG Sable. The Lechwe are on property, no drive to the Flats (where last year only one area was open and limited quota) and back. Lots of Blue Duiker available. And you will not go hungry or thirsty.

That's a great point...half the package is not available in most places at any cost. It's a "destination hunt"; come to see things that won't be found in other places.
