I reported a few weeks ago that my client had shot a 70 lb Elephant in Kigosi. Here is the picture.

70 Lb Elephant

I have a client there now, he just shot a 65 x 53 lb Elephant. I will post that picture when I get it.

Awesome elephant Wendell, congrat's to your client. Looks pretty open there, but with some water behind them. Any hunt details you could share (rifle/load used, how close they got, brain/body shot, etc)?

Umm ... well ... it happened because a "call to nature" led him to see the Elephant.

'Nuff said.

Not really SCI magazine article material ... or is it?

Note to self: add Metamucil to safari packing list.

If that is what it takes, I'm sure to get a 100 pounder!

Wow, Wendell....bloody good elephant bull. Love that East African ivory, long and beautiful!


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.

That could be quite painful. I think I would rather have malaria.
