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.

Hi Dr. Ray, I will be in Cooktown from Oct 16 to Oct 23 fishing Lizard Island Black Marlin Tournament.

I have several "slack" days after fishing before I head for stay in Sydney and Fiji.

Do you have any recommendations for 1 or 2 day hunt near Cooktown?

I've hunted both DG and PG in 4 different countries in Africa.
Thank you,
Bob

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.

Dave, I could use both of them if still available. I just picked up a new .22 mag and a .22 pump that they would be perfect on.
