For those of us going through the dog days of summer and suffering the symptoms of withdrawal from not being out chasing elephant in the jesse, here's a little tot to steady the nerves:

it did the trick
Thank you

Boy, old Buzz has had some close calls!!

Mike,

On your crocodile it looks like you made a frontal brain shot? Where do you hold for a frontal on a croc?
Oh and BTW
What was that thing you used to shot it with. It kind of looked like a rifle but more like a light saber, wizards wand cross, it wasn't one of those Blahhh Zeros was it?

That's was a great fix

Hunting Jumbo can be quite exciting....

Mike
thanks for posting, havnt seen the clip before, even more surprised to see me on it from last season!! im on after your double discharge!
I am watching this at Sydney airport, i'm flying out in a few hours to Zim again with Buzz and crew on double tusk less, so its really got me pumped up!!

Even better than my coffee this morning.

Well that should bring up some deposit money!!
Great video clips.

Very tough to watch for some one with college student kids. Can't wait for graduation to get back. Thanks for posting.

I cant get it to play, my AVG security considers it a pop-up and blocks it after 00.09 seconds, and locks my computer!

Gracias

Just watched it again! too good! Thanks Jines.

What wonderful footage. I faced my one and only elephant charge with PH Frik Muller Jr. This year. What a wonderful experience it was. Unfortunatly our Camera man had a malfunction. So this is very great to see. I can see where the law of averages could eventually catch up with a guy. Better than being in a hospice with a terminal illness.!

Thanks Mike, that was great. 9 months and counting and I'll be there with Buzz.

That was a great way to start the day, thanks!

Mike

That dosn´t help at all. Now my urge is even worse than before. Be prepared for an angry call from my wife!

Good Hunting

At the 5:00 min mark, did the rifle double or was it two quick pulls of a single trigger gun?

Great stuff Mike! Thanks.

What a way to wake up in the morning!!!
Thanks for sharing Mike
Talk about an adrenaline rush!!!


Roland

Thanks Mike! Needed that

Good stuff, Mike!

Hope the fish are biting are biting for the next few days!

Cheers,

Chris

Mike..Nice ,Thanks for posting!

Needed that, thanks.


Dutch

That was some good watchin'! Thanks Mike!

Great stuff. Thanks for posting it!

You are my hero.

On thinking about it all afternoon, I just have to comment on the client running away with his rifle in his hand ,leaving the PH to face the charge alone. Quite a legacy to live with,not on that I want. He better stick to tamer endeavors.

Good stuff! 14 weeks until I'm back in a CMS camp chasing elephant and leopard.

Yes, it was a frontal. Just hold right between the eyes. It helps for frontal shots on croc to be using a magical weapon like I was carrying. Sometimes just pointing it at game is enough to kill them.

You have never heard of the elephant hunting technique of firing both barrels simultaneously? No, it was absolutely a 100% shooter mistake. I pulled the front trigger and strummed the rear trigger.

Great pick me up. Thanks.

At the 3:44 mark, loved the tracker putting his fingers in his ears for a bow hunter.

Thank you as it was very entertaining and interesting!!! As I have stated before your shooting and others as well with a great company like CMS have set the bar very high in the hunts offered and the hunter's abilities portrayed. I wonder when I watch this could I do as well as you and others did??? Probably not as at very the least I would have had to shoot many more times to get the same effect.

In closing it would be so neat to do as well as you did in front of some of the real men in this world that take hunters into dangerous game adventures.

Good luck in your upcoming hunts and please try to share them as I and probably many others so look forward to hearing and seeing of your success.

Wow, great stuff, sitting in Frankfort airport now, waiting for plane to J'berg. Short hop to Windhoek, and then Sunday I'll be looking around the trees in the Caprivi area again.

Not that anyone was counting Mike, but Dayum, that was a lot of elephant! Nice shooting too.

Mike...You're officially in my BADASS book! Congrats, it was super exciting seeing you make those incredible shots!!!

I know you live in the houston Area, we should definitely grab lunch sometime!!!

Amazing video. The shot at 10:00 is notable for two reasons: a) The look on Buzz's face when he turns to the camera and b) the momentum of the elephant is clearly visible when he hits the ground. Reminds me of Don Heath's incident on the charging elephant and its momentum after the brain shot which resulted in Don being hit and his arm broken. Elephant hunting isn't for the weak of constitution or those who suffer incompetent bowels.

Hi Mike,

Cannot get it to play. Is it on YouTube or Photobucket?

Best wishes,
Milo.
