for real, NEWS FROM PH ARNAUD MERMET
      #154242 - 20/02/10 01:59 AM

Our friend Arnaud, PH of Tawisa in Tanzania is back and can be proud of his achievements.
They have opened new areas in their tremendous zone in Tanzania.
So many elephants that it’s hard to believe
The last month, in 30 days, Arnaud approached 63 serious bull and among them, between 6 and 10 were top end trophies.

Here are the pics and the circumstances.

Selous, September 2009
The first day during the afternoon, they saw the back of the bull and decided to approach.
Perfect move, the bull has 84lbs, 82.7 inches, and 22.5 inches at the lip.

Selous October 2009, to the 15th of the safari.
This bull’s tusks, 73lbs, 81 inches, and a dramatic video was made.

Selous, moutainous terrain, very first day of the safari.
51 and 47.4 inches, length 72 inches


lion nuit


Selous,
This lion was seen the previous season and Arnaud decided to bait him after seeing his tracks. Just at sunrise the lion appeared and was shot under 50m. An old fighter.

During the day they hot saw fresh tracks of this lion.
They opted for calling him in the end of the afternoon, the American hunter and Arnaud each behind a black umbrella. The lion rushed and was shot at 20m. The blast made Arnaud’s umbrella fly and followed a period of uncertainty for Arnaud, but the shot was perfect.
A magnificent old warrior.



South Selous.
This lion was heard during the night and early morning they were approaching after finding fresh tracks. 2 hours of approach and then Arnaud called and the lion burst in and was shot at 20m.

Wish I were there, Larcher!

My use of the subjunctive mood says it all (ie: it ain't ever likely to happen).

It's good to see that there are still some very nice tuskers out there. Thanks for the pictures JB.

Thanks all
Sorry for having messed with posting the pics but Photobucket is a pain in the back now, I don't know why
Thanks a lot John for helping

This damn Arnaud is a pretty neat guy and I like him.
He never miss an opportunity for teasing me no end.
I wish I could hunt with him but for the moment I can't afford such a grand safari.

You can ask him whatever you fancy on this website, and he'll answer using my alias, as he has lost his Nitro Express codes.

and of course his website:
