Just finished watching this week's TAA titled "Hunting Dangerous Game in East Africa Part II."
Ivan and the crew were hunting Lokisdale in Masai Land. Lady shot quite a buff anybody know what it measured? Looked like 46-48 inches or more? BTW the boss was hard.

gents , its was just on 44 inches ...i also overjudged it , it had a smaller head than i was used to and that made it look bigger than it was ...i thought it was 46..

either way a great hunt , a great experience and she made a very good shot ...in that herd were two other bulls probably every bit of three inches bigger ...but still soft ...

So Ivan, when are you going to change your location from Africa/Michigan to Africa/Bermuda????
Did you put Fred and his wife from PA on an Ele in Masame?
That was one more AWESOME bull you put Hector on!!! Hope to see a full story video on it soon....more than the short video Hector sent me----he made an awesome second shot with his double after first shot bullet failure!
