93x87 lb. I guess this answers the question about why people pay the big bucks to hunt in Botswana.  MARK H.

UEG, Ray did not book this hunt through us so I don't know any of the details. Mark MARK H.

Well it's not a double so its clearly not kosher, but, on the other hand, it doesn't look like a 45/70! Just goes to show you don't need a double rifle to kill a monster!

What a bull! I've heard mixed reviews about Johan personally, but he sure does produce. "There are worse memorials to a life well-lived than a pair of elephant tusks." Robert Ruark | |||

That is a big bull. Truly awesome. I would love to know where in Bots he was taken. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

That is huge! I have a suspicion that the photo was taken the day after because the hunter and his clothes look entirely too fresh to have been hunting elephant in any country! Kudude | |||

Not long but very thick and they appear to be well matched. Neat bull. Congrats to the hunter. _______________________________  | |||

Wow, must have been an old bull with tusks that thick. Excellent dream bull ele, Congrats. Frederik Cocquyt I always try to use enough gun but then sometimes a brainshot works just as good. | |||

Nice bull with thick tusks. However, personally, I would rather shoot a long-tusked 60 pounder in Tanzania than a short, fat-tusked 80 pounder in Botswana. That's just my opinion. I think the TZ bulls are more impressive. _______________________________________________________ Hunt Report - South Africa 2022 Wade Abadie - Wild Shot Photography Website | Facebook | Instagram | |||
