Fire and Ice Review - Sable Trail Productions

Marc Watts latest hunting video, titled "Fire and Ice, Hunting Zimbabwe's Perfectly Shot Dangerous Game" is centered in Zimbabwe's Zambezi Valley with professional hunter Andrew Dawson. Marc booked the hunt with Andrew based on his reputation as an outstanding hunter, his experience on screen, and through word of mouth from Craig Boddington. Craig actually joins Marc at the outset of the hunt and makes two excellent running shots with a double rifle on a buffalo cow. It truly shows Craig experience from the 50+ safaris he has been on. Marc then continues the hunt killing two buffalo himself including a beautiful 44" bull with a difficult shot.

Marc initially kills a great waterbuck and as the film rolls on, adds crocodile, leopard, hippo, and finally sable to the list. His crocodile shot is executed to perfection with the croc lying on a small sand bar in the middle of a massive river and the shot taken laying in the shallow water. Any mistake with this shot and the croc would have disappeared into the water.

Andrew Dawson also fools a hunter-wise leopard into coming back during daylight hours with some amazing hunters intuition. Marc also executes a deadly shot on a monstrous hippo through the neck, after missing his first shot at the bull. The final chapter of the film is Marc's crown achievement in taking a 44" sable, Marc's favorite African species. He plots his own course in killing the sable, disregarding his PH's advice.

This film is interspersed with some interesting tips from Marc, promoting his sponsors, as well as testimonials from the many PH's. The video has an interesting storyline, with early confrontation between Marc and Andrew until Marc earns Andrew's respect. It is obvious that Marc has been in front of a camera and the producers have done a great job tying it all together. Overall a refreshingly different and excellent African Hunting Video.
