SBTHome From SSG Safaris Zim Elephant Hunt
We had a fantastic time. The safari exceeded our expectations - I shot two bull elephants. I don't know what they weigh or measure and quite frankly I don't care anymore. They were hunted by hard, long tracking and they are mine. Here are a couple of photos, hunt report to follow in the next week.

JudgeGYes, Scott. Please let us know the details, particularly about the third elephant.
I'd reckon that Ernest II worked better than expected, too.

True statement of a true hunter!
Glad you had a great hunt. It is the memories that make the hunt not the trophy size.

bronxfatslong and hard tracking,with 2 great jumbos at the end of the rainbow.....WOW! Congratulations Scott. Would like the details on where and how,when you catch your breath. Jim

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.
