Bama15Congrats on the season. The elephant relocation is news that doesn't get out to the main channels much. To be involved in that would be a privilege. How about some weights and measurements on the ivory. The Save is on my bucket list in the next few years.

It was a privilege to be involved with, one that we are extremely proud of and a great testimony for hunting conservation!
The Ivory was 74lbs and 78 lbs.
5.9 feet and 6 foot each tusk, 19 inches at the lip.
Frank - we did a day trip to Ghonarezhou National Park as a little side excursion. One I would recommend to anyone coming across here. It was phenomenal the elephants we saw. That one, I would take a guess and say he is very close to 100lbs on the one side. Holds his weight beautifully and is a magnificent old bull and a pleasure to see!
Come across and I'll show you one
