Ann,
as many enthousiasts I have marvelled at the way your anchored an elephant in a tricky situation.

Once I tempted an anchoring shot .........with reluctance. It was with a wounded red buffalo. The only solution was a Texas heart short for we could only see his backside. I didn't dare because of the horns................Yes the horns, that were clearly protuding and I was afraid to break one with a misplaced shot.
The same with the best warthog I have ever seen. I couldn't shoot him when facing, the tusks were so impressive. Then he turned and went back and once again I was afraid to shoot one of his tusks.
I suppose an elephant (I never hunted ele) let more place to shoot and is more coveted. In fact it's instinctive. If one is sure that the game is finished, unconsciously one can let him get away.
I feel ashame, but in Europe or Africa, I have the tendancy to let a finished trophy go. Should it not wear nice horns or antlers I think nothing of emptying my magasin.
Ann You are showing the worst of myself in the limelight
