L. David KeithZim: Dande east: Elephant 2012 tuskless or trophy, your choice
The hunt would be in Dande East/ W11 concession which is on the border of Mozambique with CM Safaris. Many of you have probably seen their fine videos and maybe caught Tim Herald's hunt with Buzz.

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......
"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."
