So I am watching my brand new CD "Essence of Elephant Hunting" by Buzz Charleton. And of course I have my trusty .470 NE loaded with snap caps at my side. In any case up to this point I've perfectly executed several virtual TV screen frontal and side brain shots with a few shoulders shots mixed in for good measure. I am just getting ready to shoot a beautiful one tusked bull and just as he's about to clear cover and I am taking up juice on my front trigger. MJines goes and shoots him out from under me. He didn't even give me chance. Proving that Mike is a shot hog and generally a no good rotten so & so.  Great video guys and Mike does some wonderful shooting in it! Nice job Mike and Buzz!  | ||

I saw the subject line and thought my wife was posting again. Thanks, you would be shocked to find out what I have to pay Buzz to just show the good shots. Mike | |||

I'm so glad you posted that. My wife had me just about convinced that shooting the double with snap caps at all my DVDs, everyday, all day, etc., is abnormal. I don't know how many times I've shot the animals in my trophy room, but it's more than the average I would think! Me and Mark Sullivan have sorted out a few buff also!  | |||

Oh I don't know I wear a pair of snap caps in about 6 months. There is nothing abnormal about that at all..Right?  Mike, Once again really nice shooting. Were you using the same rifle throughout the video? At one point it looked like you had a non Kreighoff in your hands? | |||

Yep - me too......and my wife also thinks I am crazy as well. Great video to boot! | |||

You guys are JUST NOW coming around to this conclusion!  Seriously Mike is a pretty decent fellow and a great guy to share a cold beverage and a hunting story or two with. He is quite an accomplished hunter! 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.

Snap caps are cheaper than a new tv... | |||

The way he handled that double tap with his 500 is pretty impressive also! . | |||

My wife saw me doing the same on a Sunday afternoon watching Tracks Across Africa and freaked out,,,,I put up a large new HD Tv in the family room and she thought I was mad at the TV, or crazy, I guess I understand her surprise, I normally do my "shooting" exercise in my Man Cave/workshop/trophy room without her around but she did once see me take my laptop outside one day and light it up with my 45ACP Sig so she thought I was up to something crazy again.... you can make more money, you can not make more time | |||

Yep, I worry that before I can save enough money to hunt an elephant, Hunter Jines will shoot all the good ones in Zimbabwe.

It shows you were out gunned by a faster draw from Texas. Mike  | |||

To hell with Buzz's DVD, I would pay good money for a DVD, or better yet a live video feed, of folks sitting in their dens dry firing at the television while their wifes and kids are watching, wondering what's up with Dad. Mike | |||

Just goes to show Mike will go toe to toe with anyone, even Jumbo.... | |||

I'd put it on YouTube but I'm afraid this Oil Business will crash one day, and I'll have to find a new job! Sounds like a video project for Shootaway!  | |||

Heck, I taught my wife to shoot game by starting her dry firing at the deer outside the kitchen window. One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas I'll never know. - Groucho Marx | |||

I've got a good buddy who is a fairly well known gun writer and big time hunter who shall remain nameless at this time. Who was "dry" fire and bolt cycle practicing with his rifle. And then went to try out some new reloads for fit and function. He'd been dry firing on an ibex head on his wall. Loaded his rifle with the reloads cycled the bolt and without thinking reflexively lined up pressed the trigger and BLAMMMO re-killed his Siberian Ibex mount! His wife was impressed. | |||

A thought does come to mind, that when some folk find themselves in front of buffs and 'phants, they will be looking for a couch to shoot from. | |||

This conjures up all kinds of bad thoughts Mike - but I'm sure that's not what you meant - you being a gentleman and all !! | |||
