Hello
I returned from the Zambezi Valley yesterday. I was hunting an elephant bull with Don Adams from New Zealand and PH Richard Tabor. On the 7th day, after many approaches were made and many bulls turned down, Don took an excellent 65 pounder. The hunt was most fulfilling for all involved and an added bonus was that I managed to film the taking of the bull. Needless to say, Don is over the moon, as are all at Roger Whittall Safaris. Congratulations to both Don and Richard. PH Tabor has conducted two Zam Valley elephant bull hunts so far this year, and his average reads 65.5 pounds! I am posting some pictures for your enjoyment. Will post a hunt write up in the next day or two.
Dave

Hi, David
Looks like Don shoots a 470 Merkel and you coped one in the gut, with all that blood.
Ps; Must get your book as I did not catch up with buzz. I will give Tetse Joe some money for two copys in September
Regards,
Adam

A great trophy elephant for these days.
They are starting to look a real trophy when if they are mounted on small plinths you can walk under them!
Good stuff from the Kiwi. And the lucky guy can also take them home to NZ as well.
