What practice or preparation did you do for your elephant brain shots? Look at some skulls, or just worked it out from verbal advice or shot descriptions in books and magazines?
Before my first elephant hunting in Zimbabwe in 1998, I talked a lot with Tony Sanchez, Gomez Sequeira and some other experiences elephant hunters. Also I readed several books about it, from the mentioned Tony to John Hunter or Pondoro. I had the right place to shot into my mind 6 months before the safari, and so I only needed one brain shot. Last year I went to Botswana and I took a elephant with only one brain shot again. If you think in 3D (and you know where is), you'll find the brain, no matter what position the elephant be .
