Just wanted to let everyone know that my client Don Stoner took a huge Elephant the other day at Ngamo Sikumi with me. The weight of the Tusks were 96.8 and 90 lbs.

A remarkable bull! Something you might expect from Botswana instead of Zim but you know the old saying, "the big ones are where you find them!" I look forward to pictures as well...


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.

Rusty,

Congrats to you and Don on a magnificent bull. The first time we met you were loading a client's very nice ivory into a plane in the valley.

Beauty of an elephant there.

Also, there is talk of a potential 100 lbs elephant shot this week by a friend of mine . . . . 5.5 feet sticking out, 19 inches at lip, and heavy all through the tusk. If the nerve is not too big, he may have a shot.

Hey Russ,

I had the pleasure of spending 5 days in July in the Ngamo camp with Russ and his client. Very enjoyable camp comrades.

Congrats, a magnificent Elephant.

97lbs deserves the accolade. Nerve or no nerve.

Great set of tusks! Congratulations! But most importantly how was the hunt? Did you know about him? Did you hunt hard for him? Did he almost get away?

Please tell us the story as hunting elephants to me has always been an adventure and the hunt is as important as the trophy.
