The Ivory will look nice in a Zimbabwean friends house.

Congratulations! Tell us more about the double rifle you used.

Tell us please on the follow up shots, how did it go? Shots at the heart etc? Did the ele drop on the failed brain shot and then re-rise, run etc?

Are you going to have copies made of the tusks for import?

Congratulations.

Thanks.

Amazing how the bush in Africa looks like the mesquite scrub of south Texas...

Great Pics!

Hi John,
Followed up with three of mine and one from the PH. Did not go far with 4 x 470NE and 458 rounds in it.
His mate did require a watchful left eye as he departed in our direction.
Here is another taken with the 470NE;

Awesome, thanks for posting.

What pills were you running in the 470?
