Not many details however I am sure Martin will fill in the blanks when he can.

PH was Thini Kok.

Thanks Mike, a fantastic bull taken yesterday, along the border of Hwange national park with one of my main PH's Thini Kok, measurements are 54 " out the lip and 21 " thick on both tusks, official weights to follow.

Obviously a very happy Mr Rodrigues who is respectfully humbled by the sheer beauty of this bull.

Well done Martin and there seems to be a plethora of bulls taken on your park boundaries.

Shows that the Parks are still rich in game.

Excellent bull Mart. Congratulations!


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Congrats on a fantastic bull. It doesn't surprise me that the PH was Tinie Kok. Tinie is a fine PH, works hard for his client. Good to see him get some credit for a job well done.

Tusks were pulled today and congratulations Tinie

Right tusk 100.3
Left tusk 80

The tusks were identical however the bull had several old bullets in his head and left tusk which led to a major infection which ate away at the nerve hence the lesser weight.

We will toast this magnificent bull tonight

Cheers

Martin

Brilliant elephant, well done to Tinnie and all the guys. Zim has certainly produced some fantastic trophies lately.

Lets see some more pictures of the pulled ivory.

That's gotta be the most spectacular trophy posted on AR to date.

To me, that's a once in 10 lifetimes trophy. Beyond perfect.

Congrats to that extremely fortunate hunter!
