FMCWant to borrow elephant hunting DVDs
Of course I’d like to buy them if available, but knowing that most would rather keep than sell, I thought I’d post here and not in the classifieds.
Going to Zim in April/May for an elephant hunt and I’d love to see as much as I can before I go. Of course I’d pay for shipping and any viewing fee.
PM if interested. Thanks, Frank
Sorry if inappropriate.

SaeedThere is nothing to it.
Lots of walking, and walking, and walking.
Then make a shot at very close range.
End of story!

At least that is what happened to me elephant hunting.
First elephant I shot, of many, was standing a few yards away.
I was told to move forward, and shoot him in the head.
I had planned to keep reloading and shooting after the first shot.
And I was using just a normal 375 H&H Magnum, in a Remington 700, bought second hand!
Imagine my utter shock as the elephant dropped like a sack of potatoes at the shot!

AilsaWheelsBuy Buz Charleton's video if you want to learn a few things before you go. You might try to contact him while he is still in the States. He can probably mail you one from here. He normally has them at the shows.
Otherwise you can try from here or other places.

BaxterBBuzz’s elephant video is great, in part because he talks to Ian Nyschens. THAT is an interesting guy...
