Damn and I was just having my new Greener Empire made up as a double .45/70 regulated with extra slow hard cast bullets. Just for this hunt.

I've never hunted on the Botswana - Eithiopia border. The shufta scare me too much.

I've got no problem with Uncle Bob holding onto the ivory. I know he's trustworthy.

After all he is holding 'in trust' half the countries farms for the owners while they take a short well earned holiday.

No problem on transporting the ele meat. I'm going to concentrate it and stuff it all into two suitcases to take home. Yum.

A driven elephant shoot. Damn I will need two of those .45/70 doubles !
