Anyone hunted the Selous lately?

I haven’t hunted there yet, but have a 16-day hunt booked on MA1/Madaba for next August with Alan Vincent. We expect it to be excellent.
 
I have just concluded a 2 month stint from 22nd August to 16th October in an abnormally very dry northern part of the Selous and it was the first time in as many years to see the Selous so dry as a direct result of a rainy season which had not materialised as it should; waterholes and springs that never went dry were dusty pans and rivulets where water once trickled were no more. Game was scarce and had concentrated in areas which still had permanent sources of water, though their general physical condition was distressing as lack of water and forage had taken its toll. Hopefully November wil bring on the much needed short rains and hopefully again, the traditional long rains (March to May) will bring the conditions back to normal. Hunting was hard but successful.

We are very excited to come to Salzburg for the first time.
Should you at all have any interest in hunting with me and want to discuss different options please do not hesitate to contact me and we can set something up.

A two minute video I made of our recent Safari. I think it turned out well

Just received your book. It will be a Christmas present from my wife. Looking forward to read it.
