Congratulations 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.

I can't believe that Buzz let you leave with "his" new 500 NE.

I wondered why the customs folks were giving me such a hard time.

There's nothing else like dangerous game hunting.

Congratulations!

Buzz and Myles have not one but two pictures of your big ele bull in their booth!

It still looks great, as does that big old buff.

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

Awesome 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.
