Good stuff Ben.

Nice Buffs.


And a nice little eater (top left) you put down
by the looks of it.

Well done, "Karamojo Ben".

Now you have to find an elephant for WDM's favourite calibre.

Thanks, fellows. Nigel, the collage is of the same buffalo - yesterday was my first run with this rifle, and my intention was to simply shoot some targets. That didn't happen, I got a bit distracted.

John, I keep my eyes peeled out-bush here, but we're short of bloody elephants, unfortunately! I think it's awfully short-sighted of the pioneers not introducing some feral ele into the country.

No worries. Just looked lighter and thinner horns.

Anyway, good stuff.

Well done Ben, you have a classic rifle and now you added a classic hunt.

Congratulations

Thanks, lads. I'll also keep my eye out for that nasty lion that's supposedly prowling about.

Not the best close-up pictures yet, Adam, but here you go:







I'll try to take some better, closer ones soon.

Cheers,

Ben
