Very well done, you deserve that bull after that hard hunting, it was a perfectly executed first shot too, congrats to you, Rich and the whole team and thanks for sharing.

George: Could you post a pic of your ele tail and Lee's knife for us to see?

Thanks everyone.I just got a new computer today-the hard drive went.I think I have some video of the tail cutting.The knife cut the tail like butter.All those cuts on my legs have puffed up and I was drained of energy the last couple of days.I am starting to feel better now.

Good shooting George!

Great Hunt and Report.

Really good report and that Richard Tabor fellow knows his stuff. He has been responsible for some very impressive trophies this year.

Congratulations George. Very nice bull and a great hunt.

Great hunt
Congratulations George

George,

Well done on the ele and nice report plus pix. Unfortunate you could not spend more time on Coutada 9. It really is an amazing destination for spiral horns etc.

A true adventure. Congrats George.

This hunt was more than I could ask for.It threw some logs on the fire as in refuelling my hunting,shooting and wild interests.A huge wild area to ourselves in which bulls carrying good ivory could be found.Bulls feeding from baobab to baobab covering long distances and then coming out of the forests for a drink in the rivers.There was another fellow who was a great help to us on our hunt.He had hunted the area and offered some advice.The only bugger on this trip was that after the third or fourth day one of the cuts or deep scratches on my legs started to get infected and at the time I knew nothing.I felt my energy level decrease towards the end of the hunt and once home fever set in and I had to see a doctor.Luckily the antibiotics helped and the swelling has gone away and I am know almost 100 percent.

Congratulations on a great hunt. Well done!

Well done George!

Classic hunting.

congrats George.

always pay to not give up.

Well done and well told.

Bravo!

Congrats on your bull. Your legs looked like min on a tuskless hunt in Rifa with Pro Safaris. The sweat sure lets you know they are there.

Nice bull. Thanks for the report

Great story and congratulations on the bull.

Hunting ellie in the old style has to be the best adventure available in the world today.

I couldn't see the vid, but I noticed the ellie's trunk is not displayed. Was part of it missing from a poacher's snare?

The trunk was turned in for the picture.It was extended straight forward with blood emerging beforehand.It was a great area for me to hunt.It reminded me of the stories in old hunting books except there were no doubt more ele and bush around then.

Well done George. Congratulations on the very nice trophy.

It must have been as Ahab felt after the first time he lost Moby. Congratulations on an amazing hunt and Ele Redemption!

Thank you very much for sharing!
