What do you think his range was(Max) with the 257?I would guess with in 100yrds.?Was his bulls eye a line(aim for center) between the eye and the base of the ear on a broadside shot?
On bufflo & ele is the bullseye in the middle of a X that is drawn between the ears and eyes if the nose is down?If it is up do you aim for the nostril or pick a eye i.e .slightly lower aim?
Is there such a thing as a neck shot at the base of the head on buff from the back side?Is the center of x always a standard frontal shot for the brain on most africian dangerous game?Do you think bell shot alot of game through the heart also and the trackers just tracked it down sort of like the old west bufflo hunters use to do and staked camp right there?Did they just live in the forest for months travelling like a indian tribe with many hands to help,Carrying all the Ivory& necessities they needed like a travelling Gypse ivory show and when everyone had a tusk to carry they were at there limit and went to town ?Game was so plentyful,I guess they thought there would be no end.I would have toguess at how much the expiditions of the day must have cost ,even at the econonmy of the time,and to travel from england and back home for many british adventures must have been something of itself with out jet planes and fast cars.
Is killamanjaro still a great wild place to hunt?
Who besides Bell is known as a great elephant hunter & tracker,Wally Johnson ?Who else is as famous for risking there life so much with such a Dangerous,intelligent,Animal?Nobody.Bell is the greatest ele hunter,corbett the greatest tiger hunter.Period.
The elephant always seem to me to be the most dangerous Big 5 to hunt and lose your life doing it.Nothing (Can)messes with or makes them scared if they are Mad as Hell and want to Dance.Whatcha gonna do?climb a tree?

Are elephant really in a class by them self for Danger?Especially up close and in your face?

What could compare besides Rhino?Hunters that have been there and done that what would you say was the number one most Dangerous Big 5 King of The Beast?I havent done it and been there, but i would vote elephant for King of beast if it came to a fist /claw/tusk/horn fight with Anything else.Long Live the ELEPHANT!

The Elephant is the King of beast...........

I wonder what Bell would think of the fast track pace of hunts today compared to his day of safari expeditions and months in the bush....Wish I was There......
