And by the way, many of the ranch hunts in SA can be extremely challenging and difficult, and not necessarily because the game have been shot to pieces. Many properties are huge, and the terrain in many areas can be very broken, making hunting and recovery very difficult. I'm not saying it's the same as hunting a huge unfenced block somewhere else but many have a big misconception about hunting in SA.

And also, sable were endemic to parts of SA. They still occur in Kruger National Park where they have been since forever, along with tsessebe and Lichtenstein hartebeest.
