Phillip Jackson and I have hunted together several times, the first hunt being in the year 2000. Over the past 25 years we became good friends and shared many adventures. Phil and his wife Carol visited us in August of 2025 for a hunt with Big Water Safaris. Phillip has hunted most of the African antelope and cape buffalo, to the extent that his trophy room is becoming somewhat overcrowded. However, he managed to find a vacant spot and decided that it would be a good place for a sable bull. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
