When we stood next to this great animal there was alot of feelings and emotions going through us all i think and thoose feelings you cant express in words except one and that was relief that this big grey giant, the biggest land mammal on earth died a quick death.

A elephant hunter is born.




Anton, you are the man. Those are brilliant sequences, thank-you. I know you will cherish these memories forever. I know a couple of other guys that will too.

Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.
-Seth Peterson

Anton,

I enjoyed going through your report. Very well done. My dad and I need to compile our pictures before we do a report. Enjoyed meeting you and hearing about your elephant hunt while we both were in the Save Conservancy. Glad you also got your buffalo. After you left my dad and I ended up getting each a buffalo in the same day. Quite the experience.

Best regards to your dad.

Grattulerar Anton!
Avundsjuka är väl det rätta ordet för det man först känner efter att ha läst din jaktreseberättelse!

Hoppas att jag kan ta mig ner i april och jaga PAC elefant enligt plan!

Mvh
Mats

Eh ¡thank you very much, I had not seen, and I found very well done. The only downside is that I just do not understand English, only a few words. Actually you have caused me great envy, healthy clear. I wish every hunt in Africa, but my budget does not allow me, so I also loving arms I'm saving euro euro to buy a rifle from 458 Lott, just to take the gun and feel its power when I shoot .

Thanks for the video,

Oscar.
