Retreever,

That's just a great trophy, not many taken that size in Africa. And then in the Selous is an added bonus. Several years ago there must have been some great ivory available before the poaching began.

Great trophy, a full body or head mount???

See you in Dallas!

It was well worth the look, as I had to go through the album to see the ele pics, and a neat looking cleaned up skull and tusk display in the field.

Hope you get to bring the skull home too.

Fantastic bag of one large tusker bull, and so much more. Congratulations. clap

I sincerely hope this is the very last we have to see those tusks. Are they green or is it just me? Smiler

What a great pair of teeth.

Wow, serious ivory. Congratulations again, Mike.


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.

Absolutely fantastic. I hardly dare to dream of taking an elephant with such magnificent tusks.
Thanks for sharing.
