A cow elephant charge that we turned at five paces. Here is a clip of the video. Happens pretty quick. If you are thinking about an elephant hunt, do it, there is nothing like it! I know Buzz (Charlton McCallum) has several ele bull hunts still available for 2010. Mike | ||

Very cool video.  The elephant almost did a somersault. The price of knowledge is great but the price of ignorance is even greater. | |||

Mike, That looks like fun!!! I probably would have shit my shorts, but I bet it was a blast. I'm guessing the recoil on your 500 Nitro did not feel so bad in that moment in time. Nice shooting!! Go Duke!! | |||

Compliments to the cameraman having the where-with-all to stand and continue running the camera after the initial burst. And great job you did standing forward and taking the second shot right on target. Not the sort of thing one can practice. Thank you, Frank | |||

I never did see the guy with the double reload. I think it was his shot that put the jumbo down, though. I like a loaded gun! The only easy day is yesterday! | |||

When Buzz takes his second shot I was reloading. But there was no need, all the fun was over. Mike | |||

That's some exciting stuff there. Nicely done Mike. The pair of you work well together. You'd think ya'll had hunted together. ;-) It's great to see some of these hunts on video. David | |||

Nice shooting and kudos to the camera man!  Brett DRSS Life Member SCI Life Member NRA Life Member WSF Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick. And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too. May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep. May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip. -Seth Peterson | |||

Thanks for posting that Mike. I noted that Buzz called to you to help- which is quite a compliment I think, and shows his confidence in you. I can't tell which shot brained her, but I'll bet you were glad you had that double? You got your shots off quickly! Really great---! ______________________________ "Are you gonna pull them pistols,...or whistle Dixie??" Josie Wales 1866 | |||

You da man Jines... you da man! Always amazes me how fast it happens real time but how everything moves in slo-mo during the charge itself... 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! - Rudyard Kipling Life grows grim without senseless indulgence. | |||

Come on, give us the blow by blow. It looked like it was going down after the second shot but video replay can be out of sync. ------------------------------- Will Stewart / Once you've been amongst them, there is no such thing as too much gun. --------------------------------------- and, God Bless John Wayne.

Sorry Bill, they do not come in sleeveless. Besides, wearing one with a kilt is considered gauche. Mike | |||

great video Mike. If anyone hasn't seen their video on Elephant, I highly recommend it. And yes, they have some exceptional Ele hunts available for this year.
