The tuskless cow elephant was small due to malnourishment from having its trunk cut off in a poacher's snare.
But for me it was fine, as it was a true cull, both tuskless and a beast in pain. Plus the game scout had told us it could be shot for free, almost instant decision on his part, so there was no trophy fee. A true cull.
I would also have a chance at hunting another.
Shaun Buffee, a PH whom I had hired to film the hunt is taking some photos, while Paul looks on/
The trunk is clearly closed off, except for a small hole through which the cow breathed in a loud wheezing manner.
Examining the trunk.
Trophy shot with myself, Shaun and the guys.
