LeopardtrackBest Elephant DVD??
Which most of all shows correct bullet placement, along with lot's of close-up kill shots.
Less talking with more hunting.
Which one do you reccomend?

PSmithI just got 'Big Botswana Tuskers' by John Calitz and it's pretty damn good. Disc one on 'Boddington on Elephant' is full of exciting hunts too.

Head TraumaGet both the Craig Boddington and Buzz Charlton
DVD's. They compliment each other very well and are a wealth of information.

MJinesThe Boddington DVD is good, but if I was just going to get one, I would get Buzz Charlton's DVD. Make life easy though, buy both. Only bad thing about Buzz's DVD is middle aged men wearing sleeveless shirts . . . got to have a strong stomach to watch that.

I know, that is so gross. Buzz needs more video of middle-aged pudgy dudes!

Add to those an old one
HUNTERS and IVORY It has pleanty of ele taking very close shots, and some good shooting by hunters from all over the world, with every kind of elephant rifle ever made. One big German hunter uses a Heym 470NE double with a Illuminated scope attached, and he can shoot it too!

Africa1Charlton McCallum dvd is exceptional for shot placement, etc. It is my first choice.
Boddington is also helpful in a different way. If I were forced to only have one it would be Charlton McCallum.
