Curious. We have two posts, back to back, one says all are shot during the day and the other says many are shot at night. I know that I have an acute perception of the obvious but both cannot be right. Almost like listening to the IRS testify before Congress.

IRS my you know what Dude. simply put, there is times when the movement is at night and times when they move during the day. I've been there you haven't so shut up Dude

If you go with SSG Safaris EARLY in the year, you are "more" likely to shoot your elephant at night - or not at all. I will NOT book hunters into this area early in the year - unless they insist! Totally legal in comm areas, just different.

At anytime a big elephant can be shot in daylight, just as the big 85lb bull shot this past Monday at 4pm. As the season goes on, opportunity for more elephants/big elephants will be greater with each passing month.

I shot my 84lb bull in Sept 2011, at 4:30pm in the afternoon (you can see it on the GLOBAL HUNTER DVD). I also passed a 65lb bull two days earlier at roughly 5pm. Last year, the biggest bulls were shot Oct/Nov, all in daylight. Including Milan's 80lb bull.

Both Parks, Ghonarzhou/KNP have an extreme over-abundance of elephants, buff, etc. These areas will always/forever hold and produce huge elephant bulls/buffalo bulls, etc. The "opportunity" is/always will be here to shoot a big elephant, but odds are never good for a truly big bull - just that simple. The point is, to kill something BIG, the area has to have BIG ones to start with, period! Nixon's areas have that potential at any moment.

Hunt the Valley for the next 30 yrs, you WILL NOT SEE/SHOOT an 80lb plus bull.
In the past couple of years, Nixon has taken at least 7 bulls over 80lbs that I know of. Like I said, if you want a chance to catch a big fish, you better go fishing where there is big fish!!

Boarkiller Dude,

Oh okay, Dude. I did not realize that my comment/question might offend you, Dude. I would never have done that, Dude. I will just fade away now and shut up, Dude, as you suggested Dude. Have a good day, Dude.

[P.S. Dude, I hope that you can speak better than you write, Dude.]
