Congratulations on a great hunt. Thanks for all the detail in the ele bull hunt and especially the tuskless charge. You may need a bigger caliber. Tell Buzz that, get a .500 double to replace his 416. Enjoyed your report immensely. Dak | |||

I can't believe that Buzz let you leave with "his" new 500 NE. | |||

I wondered why the customs folks were giving me such a hard time.

Awesome report Mike From the one tusker to the 2 Buffalo, and the charge to top it off....truly the type of stuff dreams are made of At least for me Thanks for sharing.
