Trophy Sable Hunting Methods

Hunting methods for this 5-Star trophy sable bull hunting safari will consist of early morning drives looking for a trophy bull in areas that are known to have trophy-sized sable. The terrain is varied but sable bulls are somewhat territorial and are known to frequent the same areas. Once a trophy bull is spotted, a stalking plan will be made to get you into a shooting position to take your trophy bull sable of a lifetime.

If you are hunting your trophy sable with a bow or crossbow, you may hunt out of a blind. It is also possible that you will hunt the sable by spot and stalk on foot. The outfitter is confident that he can get you your trophy bull sable on this hunt!
