Good shooting Frank. Good job Karl.

Frank,
you made the shot

Frank will tell all, so we will have to wait till he is home. He is going to try for a hippo.

Mike

Congratulations my friend I'll never forget my first elephant! What a neat experience..

Biebs, you are too funny. But you forgot to rip Frank about his ele's lack of tusks and testicles!

Good job, Frank! And congrats! Big improvement to the local gene pool!

Well done Frank! One's first Ele is always special. I'll be after my next with Karl in only 4 weeks, so am awaiting your report.

Congrats Frank!!!

Congrats Frank!!

I will going to the Caprivi in August to hunt 2 elephant bulls and buffalo in the Dzoti concession.

Man I can't wait!!!!

That´s the way!!.

Congrats, from another friend.

Congratulations to Frank!

Can't wait to read the tale.

Congrats to Frank!

Super day!

Should be receiving first hand info in a day or so. Looking forward to the full story.

Mike

Got home - still a little worn from the long journey. I got the elephant, but no hippo. The rivers are too full yet, so we didn't see a single hippo. The tuskless cow did a mock charge or two, so that made the experience more exciting. We tracked the herd that included the tuskless cow for about seven miles before we got the shot. Was hoping for a 1/4 mile walk for the shot, but that didn't happen. Karl & I were hoping for a "Biebs" opportunity, but probably because of my "hippo curse", I had to walk my a** off before I got the shot. Next time I'm taking Biebs with me so I don't have to work so much for a shot. It was a great hunt, & I'm sure I'll try again, next time for a 65 pounder like Karl showed me from the client right before me.

congratulations, I shot my first elephant this year as well, being a tuskless also. We also had to kill another cow in self defense,dropping 3 paces in front of us. The cows are very exciting.I'd love to do it again.

Hi Frank
Congratulations sounds like she made it exciting for you.
