I just returned from Zim and SA after a elephant hunt with HHK. Other than taking 3 elephant, a buffalo,  facing and taking a charge from multiple elephant, shooting an agressive bull, an injured cow and a 36" bull buff that critically maimed a 15 year old boy, it was quite boring!465H&H | ||

It was a cow that charged Brent and me and it was turned by an apprentice hunter named Pierre hundermark with a 375 H&H no less. Long story there and I'll detail it sometime soon as it shows how in the confusion of a charge things can go bad. Brent did have to finish off a bull in thick jess wounded by a hunter before me but he didn't say anything about it charging. I hunted the Omay area out of the Chifudzi camp. We spent 7 days lookung for Freddy ( a 10 1/2" plus Vaal Rhebock but had to conclude that Freddy probably died of old age since I saw him 2 years ago as we could not find him and there was another buck in his territory. CHEERS! 465H&H | |||

I agree with George...actually those of us lucky to hunt Africa at all should always share pictures!  --->Happiness is nothing but health and a poor memory<---Albert Schweitzer --->All I ever wanted was to be somebody; I guess I should have been more specific<---Lily Tomlin | |||

I am considering writing an artile on this hunt for the SCI magazine. I'm not trying to tease any one. Also I don't have the time to lean how to put pics on here. If SCI prints the story it will be more detailed than anything I can put on here. Decions, decions1 | |||

The SCI mag is in need of some good articles, so I encourage you to do it. | |||

You'll just have to wait for Steve Comus to run out of articles written by his fellow hacks, first.  George | |||

Plan on a year or a year and a half from the time you submit until you see it in print. | |||

465H&H Most magazines aren't too worried about stories being put up on the net. It only represents a small proportion of their potential printed market. | |||
