The first shot drops the elephant, and the elephant reacts like the shot is a good brain shot. But he is still holding his head up until the third shot. However on the last and fourth shot he sticks his tail straight up and maybe the fourth shot hit the brain?

Good ivory too! Described as "fantastic", I thought maybe 50 lbs but see the YouTube page says the ivory is 77 lbs, which is bloody good these days!

Interested to see what members here think. I don't remember my two cow eles "flinching" or "jerking" on the subsequent shots, but this bull does. Not knocking the guy in any way, just interested in what NE members think. Was the first shot stunning the ele with a near brain shot or was actually a brain shot? And/or subsequent shots?

Good shooting anyway and a very fine trophy.

I like the dudes are all hunting bare foot too.
