No questions. Just know you have been on a couple recent hunts. Your reports are usually entertaining and enlightning for all.

Perhaps just share some photos of the infamous @SpikeT in action?

Do you offer any Sitatunga hunts

Unfortunately, to the best of my knowledge the answer is no. If he had some last year, I would have tried to shoot one.

Hi @spike.t Just sent you a PM

 

[wesheltonj]

The photos of the Lechwe and Sable bring back good memories of my hunt, almost a year ago.

 

[375 Ruger Fan]

what an offer .....wow....bow hunt?

You will never get close enough to the Lechwe for a bow, but you can try.

Based on my one hunt at Takeri, I agree with @wesheltonj on the difficulty on the Lechwe. But I would say the chance of getting a Sable with a bow is pretty good.

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?

Our trophies (my daughter's and mine) shipped via Turkish Air from Lusaka to Istanbul then direct to Houston. Lechwe required CITES. The dip&pack, crating, paperwork (extensive in Zambia) and shipping cost to Houston was $2500 for 5 animals (3 sable, lechwe and puku).

 

[wesheltonj]

Mine are headed to DFW soon I hope on Ethiopian to IAD and then by truck on Forward Air.

Turkish and Ethiopian are your only choices to the USA. Qatar stopped shipping trophies.

Roughly 2 months left till we land in Ndola...looking forward to the trip.

@BnC 04 did you live to tell about it? Looking forward to another happy camper and interesting photos from @spike.t place. We flew into Lusaka so I am interested in hearing about the Ndola port of entry.
