A simple "exploratory" hunt to the Kafue and a quick trip to "see" the Luangwa turns into a new double and more than I can afford. Please post current mortgage rates and referral on good Family Law attorney. No scale in camp, please post best estimate. | ||

Oh crap! Well done, can't wait to hear the story man! Andrew must be the very devil if you went for a Lechwe and came home with serious ivory. | |||

What a beautiful set of teeth. I won't hazard a guess on weight, but the size is very impressive and the staining exceptional. | |||

Brad, A wild guess would be 55#-60#. Whatever you do don't clean those tusks. They are gorgeous in a gnarly sort of way. Good job! I'll be very interested in the story. Mark MARK H.

With that photo, no self respecting, competent family law attorney in the country will ever get you out of that fix!!! The only evidence missing is the double, but I am sure that receipts will be subpoened! | |||

Depending on nerve length I will say left 50ish and right 70. 505 I just hope you were up close and personl when you took the shot. Outstanding! Mike | |||

I ain't never seen a lechwe like that! Damn, Brad. Those are really, really nice. You are on a roll man . . . a roll. Now, having dabbled a bit in family law, I'd say you need to leave the teeth in Zambia until the divorce is final. And, seriously, let me be one of the first to congratulate you on completing your Big Four. Will J. Parks, III | |||

Brad, I said my quess was a wild one. All I can say is those tusks are very big. The diameter at the lip surprises me as I never saw anything like that in the Luangwa when I hunted there in the past.

Here is another view. Mark, I am limited in my knowledge of ivory, I have held a set of 70lb from just outside Krueger, a set of 60lb from Zim and a set of 50lb from Tanzania, and have never seen anything that even comes close to these in circumference and weight. You would have to put your hends on them to appreciate what I am saying. | |||

My God those are gorgeous! I'm guessing 75 lbs and 90 lbs. "There are worse memorials to a life well-lived than a pair of elephant tusks." Robert Ruark | |||

Weidmannsheil Brad! It looks like Luangwa turned into an elephant hunt for you! One never knows what Africa holds in stock... Now, to figure out how to pay for it all...

505, Did you shoot that bull or did he spit his teeth at you and run off? | |||
|
One of Us |
Ya, did you shoot him, or just collect his sheds?? | |||

Heart stopping tusks with the wonderful stain and polish. Can't wait to see the rest of the pics and read the report. "When the wind stops....start rowing. When the wind starts, get the sail up quick." | |||

Congratulations Gibbs (and Fairgame). The tusks are beautiful. I had been wondering about the progress you and Andrew were making....anxiously awaiting the complete story. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Give me the simple life; an AK-47, a good guard dog and a nymphomaniac who owns a liquor store. | |||

Damn nice elephant! 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.

Beautiful, I love the staining, it gives them so much character and is almost like a record of the bulls history. excellent job. remember what they say,"why is divorce so expensive? because it's worth it!"

Fabulous animal man!!! My God! Brett DRSS Life Member SCI Life Member NRA Life Member WSF Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick. And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too. May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep. May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip. -Seth Peterson | |||

WOW! I'd guess 80 lbs on the left and 74 on the right given the measurements. Great bull!

What about the Lechwe? Damn nice teeth! | |||

Brad: Nice teeth. My guess is 94 and 80. I am curious how long was the skull buried before they were loose enough to come out? BTW.. I saw a pic of the Lechwe. Absolutely awesome. | |||
