The hardcover is now selling for $285 on Amazon.

Must be a good book!

It is, but not $285USD good. A lot of books published overseas are very expensive in NA.

Regarding the River Crossing print;

I have the first 125 prints done and in my possession: The first 50 of the 300 limited edition 20x30, 50 of the 16x24 and 25 of the 24x36.

The limited edition will be signed and numbered, and will come with a 4" x 3/4" brass plaque for the frame ( says "John Sharp - Zimbabwe River Crossing". Also comes with a signed Certificate of Authenticity.

Prices are:

20x30 Limited: $195

16x24: $65

24x36: $125

We will be selling the prints initially at DSC, then via mail order.

The reaction to the print has been amazing thus far. We have had non-hunters who peripherally find out about this print commit to purchasing it...especially the limited edition. I am fearful that it will sell out before DSC is over!

Be sure to stop by John's booth at DSC (Booth #4340). I will have one of each size framed and on display.

Did you read Doc Rocket's post or is there an underlying issue here, re: the supposed lack of big bulls?

I think it's safe to say John puts his clients on good bulls EVERY year.

John is a professional who puts his client’s wishes first.

So he works his tail off to do the best for the client, within the legal and operational limitations.

I can tell you we broke off a number of stalks due to bulls not meeting John’s expectations (which were in part informed by my expectations).

Until he put me on an old 41 inch bull. At that point, both our expectations were met - or exceeded!

If a hunter is only about shooting a big bull, he can just go to a farm.

I noticed you only asked about the size of the bulls he is shooting, and not the overall experience. Surely that’s not all that is important to you?

He does. Tim and his partner both got big bulls, and while both the bulls I’ve shot with him have been under forty, they were both incredible hunts, and the old dugga boy I shot 3 months ago is a hell of a trophy. There’s more to a “good” bull than his outside spread.

Well, whenI hunted with him, my bull went 38" but my hunting partner's went just a bit over 40. Then there was my 59" kudu (well, 59 3/4s), and a 15.5" Bushbuck, but since some are about measuring dick lengths, I'll put that out there.

...not to mention Cate’s wildebeest from this last August is well into Rowland Ward’s book, and may make SCI book, as well.

Bring it to Alberta, I'll measure it for SCI. If it is well into Roland Ward, it is likely a Gold or for sure Silver medal bull.

Here are the prints I framed for display at DSC - to give an idea of relative size.

24x36, 16x24, 20x30.

[Linked Image]


The 20x30 size is limited to only 300 and they will be numbered and signed and will come with the brass plaque and certificate of authenticity, numbered to the print.
