dakota45056Congratulations on a great hunt. Thanks for all the detail in the ele bull hunt and especially the tuskless charge. You may need a bigger caliber. Tell Buzz that, get a .500 double to replace his 416.
Enjoyed your report immensely.

cmfic1Awesome report Mike
From the one tusker to the 2 Buffalo, and the charge to top it off....truly the type of stuff dreams are made of
At least for me
Thanks for sharing.
