Bill CAwesome 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)?

Wendell ReichUmm ... 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.

bwanamrmWow, 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!

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