a full report upon my return .

Sounds like a very successful hunt!

Nice job with the 500NE, Larry.

Can't wait to read the full report and see the pics.

Good going Larry

Well done Bwanna.

Excellent Larry, can't wait to read the report. I believe we've had 16 elephant hunters with them this year, but only 3 in Sankuyu. All 3 had similar observations and took similar bulls.

Congratulations again, and good luck to Jeff!

Larry, very welldone. Looking forward to the report and photos.

I will add a couple of more tidbits.

1- we saw a collared cheetah
2- one day while having lunch at a wAterhole, I had my head stuck in the truck fiddling around with something or another. I looked up and a bull was walking by just on the other side of the truck perhaps 10 feet away.
3- PH's were great.
4- one PH is the son of a ph often mentioned in the Capstick books. He indicates the stories as related to his father were the product of a vivid imagination.
5-had a minor run in with a young bull on day 2. Had I not moved 10 minutes before, I would likely have had to shoot him.
6- one has to watch these crooks in Tambo. He converted by multiplying the rand amount by 1.12 instead of .12. Prick tried to argue with me.
7- Osprey got some great video.

Larry........got the picture of your Ele on my cell phone this morning. Absolutely Great!! Congratulations!

Sounds like a couple nice Jumbo down - look forward to the Pics.

Disturbing to learn that the poaching is rampant now - what is going to happen in all those pristine areas in Bots when the hunting ceases and the outfitters move out....sad.

Cheers
Brent

Way to go Larry.
Cant wait to see the pics

Well done, Sankuyo has always been tough late in the season. Very interested to hear about the soft on the elephant.

Greg...hopefully the poaching reports were not as bad for the 13 hunters that hunted in other areas?

Look forward to pics. Great job.

Larry,
Congratulations! Look forward to your hunt report and pix when you get home.

A 500 on big elephants! What can be better. Great shooting Larry. Looking forward to the rest of the story.

Mike

Congratulations Larry!
Well done.
Now I hope & pray your next safari will be the best one of your life.

Larry;

Can't wait for pics and full report. My husband took a bull ele out of Sankuyo in 2007!

Congratulations!

Best regards, D. Nelson

Definitely not, just heard reports from the guys in Sankuyu that they saw a little sign of it. That being said, two clients in Chobe said they found a poached elephant. Before this year none of our clients saw signs of it in these areas. I saw no signs of it when I was there in 2010.
