216 days until my first elephant safari.

I'm so worried about a frontal brain shot that I cannot sleep at night.

It is a disease....its worse than buff hunting.
The dreams,daydreams,and the count downs don't stop after the first ele hits the ground.

I can tell you that while it doesnt interfere with my sleep, I am constantly reviewing photos, pictures, drawings and videos and to convince myself i know where to try to place that bullet.

283 until my next Ele safari. This one will be my first Ele with a DR - Sabatti 500 NE.

Like Will (Bill Stewart) says "Once you've been amongst them, there's no such thing as too much gun!" I learned that myself in 1998, when I killed my first Ele with a .375H&H. I immediately started looking for a bigger gun and have had many since.

245 for me until I begin my hunt in the Save for an even bigger eland than the one I have. Or for whatever other plainsgame presents me with an opportunity.

160 days have to come and go till I get on the big bird headed east.This will be my second trip for elephant.


We seldom get to choose
But I've seen them go both ways
And I would rather go out in a blaze of glory
Than to slowly rot away!

We're heading to SCI this January to look at hunts & options. At this stage I don't
have any idea how long I will have to wait or what rifle I will be using, but hopefully
2011 for bull elephant (#3) with a double rifle.

Good hunting everyone! JB
