Ingwe,
Just go get one!

Interesting story about the roan. I was originally just going after sable and buffalo. I never had roan on my radar. In the process of talking to a few people who had been to Royal Kafue, one told me that if roan was available I should take advantage of the opportunity. As they are extremely challenging to hunt.

So, a few weeks before the hunt, Andrew and I were discussing details, mentioned there might be a lion available. I passed, as I have zero desire to shoot a lion. I told him if leopard or roan was an option I would be in. There was no leopard, but a roan became an option, so I took it.


I am very glad I did, it certainly was challenging and very rewarding. I would have to look back through my notes to tally the number of failed stalks we had on this species.


elkhunternm,

Thank you, my wife took over 900 pictures so all credit goes to her.
