Any guesses on weight? All I know is it is a heck of a lot bigger than anything I've shot. Mark MARK H.

WOW, Ivan told me about it on the sat phone last week. A world class bull, a dream for 2013! Good job to all involved. Dave Fulson | |||

The ivory has not been removed from the skull yet. It has been measured with certain assumptions applied. The lowest estimate is mid 90's. Some are saying over 100. Obviously, the length of the nerve has a lot to do with it. Interestingly, Collen van der Linden took a picture of this bull on a prior hunt. It would not cross the boundary into Mahenye from the Gonarezhou. I have done this hunt. It isn't for the timid. It can be downright boring. There isn't much there except elephants. However, the chance of a big elephant is there. It can be extremely scary at night. One does all of the same things that you would do during the daylight except it is pitch black dark. Try walking into a big bull at 5 yards in the dark. Anton, correct me if I am wrong. I think he shot a bull in the mid 70's. There was another that was MUCH bigger that no shot was available. | |||

Assuming the measurements quoted are correct & working on the traditional calculation (and assuming my old brain is working (cos I can't find the damn calculator!)) it'd be mid to high 80s. A very fine bull. | |||

When did they start chasing elephants with dogs? Just kidding. LORD, let my bullets go where my crosshairs show. Not all who wander are lost. NEVER TRUST A FART!!! Cecil Leonard | |||

Yes Larry, that other ele I had my eyes on would probably be somewhere close to this one, one tusk broken off also. | |||

Just FYI gentlemen. I shot bull outside the Gonarezhou last year and measurements are 62" out of the skull and 18 & 1/2 at the lip. 84 lbs But of course nerve and other factors play role in weight as well. All I gotta say, seeing the picture, it definitely looks bigger then mine. Hope he goes hundred. That would be cool. And congratulation to all parties involved. I don't care what anybody says, we live " the good old days " and that includes here at home as well. " Until the day breaks and the nights shadows flee away " Big ivory for my pillow and 2.5% of Neanderthal DNA flowing thru my veins. When I'm ready to go, pack a bag of gunpowder up my ass and strike a fire to my pecker, until I squeal like a boar.

When I got this email today I had to smile. Classic picture of Jonny. Blue shorts, green shirt no socks. At least he had shoes on. I am looking forward to another adventure with him in the next year or two. Crl The average man's love of liberty is nine-tenths imaginary.

I have to agree. That bull is gorgeous, weight be damned. Of course, we all know that he has heavy tusks, but I can't imagine anyone would pass that bull up, ever, in their lifetime. | |||
