Don't look into his eyes! They can smell fear. Don't look at him. Just ignore and pretend that he isn't here... Thank Heavens I have two sets of glasses clean underwear

OK, this dude is passed out or completely fearless!

Holy Crap.

Incredible stuff.
 
Guessing there were NO sudden moves in that camp....
 
WOW! I don't think I'd have been that relaxed, never know what may make that ele agitated.
 
What a fine looking beast though! Outstanding!
 
Stunning. Except for PAC problems in the late Rhodesia, it's inter-actions like this, over the years, that have left me, personally, unable to bring myself to hunt these gentle giants.
 
WOW!!! One can only stare in amazement..........and then change your shorts :biggrin:
 
OOPS! Correct me if I'm wrong, observe, but these are 2 different elephants, right? Picture 1,4 and 5 is one, and picture 2 and 3 another. Correct?
 
I gotta put some clothes in the washing machine right now. I'll be right back!

I think 2 & 3 are different animals as well.
2 Has quite a twist in one tusk compared to 3.
 
MATE thats so cool... like everyone there the hairs on ya arms, legs the hairs on ya bloody chest would be standing on end.
oyeah the pucker factor is through the roof on this one lads
when we were in africa we met a woman who had been in kenya and she showed us photos of a big bull elephant that strolled into her motel and drank from the pool
thats shit hot and shiney
i think its three different eleis timbear
 
To Cool! I would have had to use a whole box of baby wipes after that pucker factor.:)

Hello Doug,
I am Philippe from France and plan to go hunting Caprivi in 2026, Oct.
I have read on AH you had some time in Vic Falls after hunting. May I ask you with whom you have planned / organized the Chobe NP tour and the different visits. (with my GF we will have 4 days and 3 nights there)
Thank in advance, I will appreciate your response.
Merci
Philippe

Hi Walden. Good morning from England, Chris here (The Englishman!) from Croatia. Firstly it was a pleasure to meet you and Michelle - a fellow Sanderson! I have finally joined AH as I enjoy it very much. Glad you enjoyed the hunt and your write up which I read on AR was very good indeed. I am sending on WhatsApp pics from Bojan of some of the animals hunted recently. Take care and best regards. CS.
