Congrats!

I had hunted near there in May, and your pics look like pretty similar land, but the bush is sure more open now...

Only thing better than 1 elephant hunt is 2.

Hi Adam,

Well done on another grand adventure! We met about eight years ago in Chewore North when you got your lion and it doesn't look like you have aged one day since then. It must be all that elephant hunting keeping you young.

Cheers,

Mike


STAY IN THE FIGHT!

Excellent pictures and trophy non-trophy bulls Adam! Well and fairly hunted, my friend.


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

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

Yes, must be Bull with under 30lbs per side Tusks and preferably damaged or odd in length. No export but I did get the tail.

Very nice mate. Congratulations.

My Akubra's get a hammering but just keep on performing...hardest thing is keeping them from being stolen by my PH's!!

Cheers
