This is the only elephant hunting I will be doing for about 15 years

Raise that super cute kid to be a brain surgeon to fund hunts to Africa for the rest of your life.
You're a lucky gent!

Fantastic!

Good looking elephant

It's time well spent!!!

First I thought that was a tuskless but I now do see a little ivory.

Enjoy him! In 15 years time he will be hunting too! That's your hunting buddy right there.

Yesterday, my 14 year old daughter shot better than me!!

We shot a Remington 700 PSS in 223, and we were trying to get some once fired brass to reload for her.

We used bulk Sellier and Bellot FMJ ammo.

I fired one 5 shot group to show her how it is done.

She then sat down and fired 5 shots, which were almost half the size of my group

Never been happier to be beaten at shooting

Nothing better in the world than when your children start doing something better than you can, means you raised them right!

That's great news, she was probibally concentrating pretty hard to impress you.

Thanks guys, he's a great kid, I couldn't be happier.

Cute little devil you've got there.
You'll have more fun teaching your kids and watching their success than you had your self when you were learning and growing up.

Watching my oldest son at 12 cleanly fold the first duck he shot. My youngest son at 6 spot (before I did) his first deer and take it with 1 clean shot. My daughter at 3 reel in her first fish then take it upon herself to run as fast as her little legs would carry her back to the house with it so she could eat it.
These are the best memories I possess.

Enjoy your little one!

I've the same issue....

How cool is that baby boy?

Congrats to both fathers and mothers. I know they will follow in their father's steps. Adorable.

Nice!

Got to love it!

Congratulations. Raise him to be a good hunter.

He is all that really matters anyway. Things sometimes work out. I remember flying back in 02 from my first Safari wondering how I would afford to go back. June next year will be no 18.
Good luck to you and your family!

He will go with you in about 10 years. Save your quarters and it will add up....

Enjoy, when Junior started getting into shooting, I couldn't keep enough ammo at the house

Outstanding all around. Saeed, the ultimate reward for a teacher is when the student surpasses him. Congrats.

One of my past students won an Olympic Gold Medal!

I remember sitting him on my lap with his arm over the stock of a .410 shotgun, which was on my shoulder, and directing him to shoot doves!

He is my younger brother.

Makes me even more proud than all the trophies I won in America

These will be your life's GREATEST TROPHY

Double BC, you've got one heck of a fine elephant right there, congratulations! I lived the part you're talking about with my own two. Enjoyed my 3rd safari in 1989 when my first child was 18 months old. A bit over a year later, his sister came along and there were no African hunts for quite a few years, but the next time I went they were right there with me.

You've got a great future hunting partner. My most enjoyable hunts have all been with my son, usually when he has the tag and I'm helping him on his hunt rather than my own hunt. If my son wasn't so addicted to bass fishing these days, we'd get to do more hunting together still. Enjoy every day with that little guy.

Lol
That's a future hunting partner.
I've got three!!!
