That fella in your first picture is Ivan Carter, a Zimbabwe PH, with a lot of elephant experience and a friend of mine.

Many people, me included call him CRAZY IVAN.

He is known for getting close to elephants. He has stopped many a false charge by showing the elephant the butt stock of his gun.

I too know Ivan a bit ---his enthusiasm is contagious---and a bit on the wild side... Have visited with him in Africa and in Reno...the double he is shooting is a Heym in 450 caliber..given to him by one of his clients as a "tip"....

The book Ndlovu is very good and gives many illustrations on the correct placement of your shot...advise to get it--great book on elephant...

Agree with you on the above.. especially on the first photo--shot looks too high to me...
