Re: Big Elephants in the Park Areas?????

i don't know why the eles from ghona have such bad attitudes, a PH was kill there last year by a cow that just came from nowhere and stomped him. Same thing happen to a tracker, couple years ago i shot a bull there that as soon as he saw us, just dropped head and came on. that area has been known for bad tempered tuskers for a long time, anyone familiar with ron thompsons book will remember that he had several episodes in the park, that being many moons ago. the advantages of hunting there is that the eles come out to raid the gardens and essentially they come to you instead of you going to them & for a guy with knees like mine, not walking 20 miles a day is a big big advantage. At the time i was hunting with jumbo moore and that bull went 55#'s shortly thereafter a guy went and got a 82# and the year before there was another 80+ shot. all with jumbo on his communal land access. Good area in the spring, but because of the area it is a hit or miss thing.
