Great Hunt Mike!!

Everything looked so green. All of my Africa trips have been between June and October when the leaves are on the ground, and the grasses are dead.

Hey Mike

Official weights out now and stamped- bigger tusk 49 and the broken one 36 lbs. Congrats on another great ele! Cheers Buzz

Thanks Buzz. I knew the long tusk was going to come in somewhere in the mid-40's, but 49 is great news. Makes you wonder what the broken tusk would have gone since I recall that the diameter was actually larger on the broken tusk. A great hunt again, thanks to you and the rest of the team.

49 lbs on the longer tusk! Mighty nice Mike. Congrats again.

I hope we do as well in December Buzz!!

. . . just wait, your day is coming Mr. Jolly. Better learn to sleep lightly between now and next June.

In defence of Mr Jine's reputation I think it only fair to point out to everyone that his last post is actually a veiled threat and not sexual innuendo.

Cheers ol Boy, Well done Mike. I apologize for the late response. We have been night and day with production.

Jay, it is nice to see things booming in the oil patch these days. I hope you get to keep on running day and night shifts!

I say old boy, go drink some tea or have a crumpet or two Jolly. Rob is just jealous, while the rest of us are hunting elephant he is relegated to mackerel fishing with a cane pole.

Todd Williams

No Rob. The order is correct.

I was being sly and subtle:

Then burst out laughing when I saw your post as you obviously had me pegged:

Then I was looking for a hideout after the public outburst of laughter!:
