I has been a LONG time since I logged on, but I seem to have survived Obummernomics and I've been thinking of getting back to Africa with my son and doing some elephant hunting. So I open African Hunting and what do I see? An irresistable opportunity to re-live some hunts by going through photos.

My elephants, all shot with a Marcel Thys sidelock in 458wm:

First elephant, a tuskless, 2005:

Second elephant, second tuskless, 2005:

Third elephant and tuskless, 2006:

Fourth elephant and tuskless, 2006:

Fifth elephant and fifth tuskless, 2006:

Sixth elephant and tuskless, 2006:

Seventh elephant and tuskless, 2006:

Eigth elephant and tuskless, 2006:

Ninth elephant and first bull, 2006:

Tenth elephant and second bull, 2006:

Eleventh elephant, first tusked cow, shot in self defense. More than one photo since the cameraman didn't flinch. The cow was at less than seven paces from a tracker to the right of the photo, as later walked off, 2006:

Reloading after missing the brain shot with both barrels, but stopping her.

Getting in two fatal heart/lung shots.

Twelveth elephant, third bull, 2008:

Thirteenth elephant, ninth tuskless, tenth cow, 2008:

Fourteenth elephant, fourth bull, 2008:

Fifthteenth elephant, tenth tuskless, eleventh cow, 2008:

Sixteenth elephant, eleventh tuskless, twelfth cow:

Seventeenth elephant, second tuskled cow, thriteenth cow, shot in a f' up, which cost a couple of thousand dollars in fine, 2008:

Eigthteenth elephant, fifth bull, 2008:

Just going though the photos has my blood pumping. Need to get on a fitness program, I'd melt like a stick of butter if I went elephant hunting now.
