Re: Botswana elephant pics etc.
sikander,

As T. Carr stated Botswana is very expensive. When you combine that with a couple more weeks in SA it is a small fortune. As for just the cost of a elephant hunt in Botswana that could generate a very big elephant I beleive it could be done for about $36000.00 total for 14 days. Send me an e-mail if you would like more info.

Terry,

Actually it was a side brain shot taken from behind the ear through that cluster of veins that feed the ear. Gives you a double chance at a killing shot.

Fred, Anders,

We shot the elephant at about 30 yd. and I was there just this last August. You can see the text of the hunt further back in Hunting Reports Africa.
