oh58This is the elephant charge that I had this year when hunting with Piet Styen. We shot the elephant at 4 paces. That is why you use a 459lott or something like it when elephant hunting.

KevinNYFantastic Video!

WillWay cool.
I missed the charge part but I guess the cameraperson was excited!
Bring on them .375's.

WhitworthAwesome footage! What was used to stop the charge?

BoghossianGreat video, so I suppose you aren't a believer in the story that if the ears are out it is a 'mock charge'?

BwanamichRare footage indeed. What an experience that must have been! Were you intending to shoot that elephant anyways or just checking him out?

NitroXThose cameramen need nerves of steel. I have always wondered what 'protection' is provided for cameramen in professional "charge videos". In that short clip it can be seen how everyone else is moving away or sideways so for the cameraman to stay put would have been very un-nerving. A good little clip.

AndersWow! I have to admit that my heart went a bit faster, just watching this video.. So I`m not sure if I would manage to put a bullet through the brain in such a situation..

SpringGreat video! Did you fire twice or did the PH shoot as well?

tradewindsWhy are they yelling and whistling at the Elepahnt?

oh58We had been tracking that elephant for about 4Hr. Some how he had gotten behind us and was walking down the same game trail that we where. He did not see us until some of the locals ran. We yelled at him to try and get him to move off he then walled off and charged back. The first shot is the PH then 2 of mine. I don't now how I got off 2 Rounds. The elephant was too small; we had to go to Tudura to see the head game officer. When he saw the video all he could say was "Bad Elephant". Then he sent us off to see the immigration people. They said I needed a work permit to hunt in the country and wanted to have me arrested. We told the man to go F himself and left very fast. He did not want to give us his name. I will try to get Piet to tell his side of the story.

Work permit? Say what?

BwanamichOH58,
Did they make you write that elephant down on your license or where you allowed to hunt another and if former, did they allow you to export the tusks? I hope so!
Just before the "shit hit the fan" I hear one of the group says "kifupi" meaning "too short" in Kiswahili... where there other ele's with him or was he alone? Did you see any large ele's on your hunt?

bwanamrmWow, exciting stuff! Good show!
On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
