Will, no offence intended. I know how much you live for elephant hunting so i though some of these could make your day beer








These images were emailed to me by Joe Coogan who was recently on a bird shoot on Galana Ranch along the Galana river in Kenya.

Its great to see that Kenya still has some big ones. I wonder if there are any left up in the Tana area?

Oz, that is the same general area. The Galana river or Sabaki river is slightly South of the Tana. Ele's, especially the older bulls move to and fro the Tana and Galana river systems as well as the Tsavo East ecosystem. I am sure there are big Tuskers in the Tana delta area form personal accounts of people I know.

Joe told me he was going on this hunt and Kenya being his old stomping ground was very interested to find what actually might still be left there.

Those pctures and the Galana Ranch sure bring back some fond memories from before the "closing".

I have had the pleasure to meet Joe at the Vintagers and speak at length with him. He also had the time to show me his scrap books and the photos he had with some of the big tuskers he shot as a youn man while living in Kenya and then Phing. in Tanzania.

Great guy and fellow hunter.

Wow... some great photos of some fantastic elephant. It makes me smile to know there are still some big elephant left in Kenya!


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.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.
