Kevin Robertson is back again today to talk about sable hunting. Just like we’ve done on the past we dive right into the details of sable: how big they get, where they live, why they’re different from other species of plains game, and how to hunt them. As always, we talk about cartridge and bullet selection as well as terminal ballistics. Kevin also shares two stories of extremely close calls he personally has had with sable over the years.
Contact Kevin through his web site drkevinrobertson.com if you're interested in purchasing the original photographs and anatomy diagrams for The Perfect Shot II.
