.458Aubs93 pound ele shot in zim
Hi All
As mentioned earlier here are the photo's of the ele shot in zim last month. client used a custom .416 rigby. tusks weighed 92 & 93pounds. also added the buff he took on his hunt. He hunted with Safaribound in Sengwe just above the Kruger boardering Mozambique.
As mentioned, got one ele left for the year, full 15 day trophy hunt for $27500, day fees and trophy fee's included. any takers?

GunsCoreOutstanding ivory, but they don't look like 90 pounders to me. I could be wrong, but I say they are in the low 80's at the most? Nevertheless, congratulations on your fantastic success.
STAY IN THE FIGHT!

Absolutely, I mean they are quite clearly 78.9 and 81.6 lbs respectively.

93 pounds no jokes, tell you what Ill bet your gonads on it

not sure what that 416 was - Ill check up on it, was VERY VERY nice indeed. had it built in russia, cost something stupid - almost more than his hunt.... I could not stop grinning when i shot with it.

GunsCoreOk, I believe you that they really are 90 pounders. They must be very dense with a short nerve. I get African Hunting Gazette and look forward to reading your article.

I highlighted
"BUILT IN RUSSIA" in red
because obviously we have another Russian
billionaire here. Russia is where most
new billionaires are making their money,
tons and tons of very dirty money involving
activities that can end life on earth -
Weapons of mass destruction and so on.

Billionair - correctly so. arms and that sort of shit, nope. I know the line of work he is into, they turn around 10 bill a year, cellular industry.
But then again... lets start a conspiracy theory.... maybe we should call 007

great bull! Who is the outfitter?
