I think the outfitter is Safari Bound http://www.safaribound.co.za/  Isnt Sengwe the place where John shot his 90pounder with a Norwegian client a couple of years ago ? All areas around Gona Rhe Zhou seem to produce great ivory. | |||

Wow! Most impressive! Brett DRSS Life Member SCI Life Member NRA Life Member WSF 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 | |||

It's amazing what you can achieve when confronted by a negative official and you say 'I see we have a problem, how can we fix this problem ?' (Thank god for the US greenback). | |||

What a great elephant. Reminds me of one I saw a photo of last year from the same area. I think it was a Russian client. I'm curious about the two rifles in the photos. I'm guessing one belongs to the PH, yet both have a scope. Wouldn't it be unusual for a PH to hunt elephant with a scoped rifle?

Hi Guys csxcs is correct the elephant was hunter with safaribound southern africa, Todd can be contacted on todd@safaribound.co.za i know that he has good pac ele available and plenty other animals. The client is Russian and besides trying to tell him where in Zim we were flying him into turned out to be rather interesting, i believe that getting the story of the hunt will be even more difficult, i know he also shot a nice buff 2" good croc, plenty of plains game, hippo and is currently hunting for leopard and lion. Sorry guys but the photo will have to suffice  | |||

The gap between Gonarezhou and Kruger is a great area for Jumbo. Those land mines are a bit of a worry though. | |||

| One of Us |
Uhhhh...Land mines???? Please elaborate! JW | |||

The area was used by the terrorist during the war. The Rhodesian govt mined the area. Supposedly there are a lot of mines left. At least that is what I was told when I hunted there in the 90's. The PH showed me (from a distance through binos) a skeleton of an elephant that was supposedly killed my mines. | |||

Very true Larry! And there are still a number of lame elephants hobbling around from recent detonations. Most of the leftover mines were planted by the terrorists or "freedom fighters", who did so haphazardly without any form of mapping program for retrieval later - they planted mines to prevent the Selous Scouts (crack unit of the RLI) coming after them into Mozambique. You will probably recall the late Lady Diana was deeply involved in a mine clearing crusade in Mozambique. | |||

Ive hunted that area last year.You dont have to worry about land mines.They have been cleared out.There is only one or two little blocks that still have land mines but you dont go ninto them.While i was there they had a team of land mine sweepers busy clearing out the last few blocks.The area you hunt in was cleared out years ago and has been hunted for years they are 100% safe. | |||

How about carrying a scared client out of a mined area. | |||
