I thought I'd add that he took these pictures in the Letaba Elephant Museum, in Kruger National Park. The museum is located inside Letaba Camp, and is very well worth visiting if you're ever there.
 
Very interesting, thanks for sharing !
 
Thanks for sharing if I am never able to make it there then I've seen this much thanks to you, great pics.
 
It is a great place, filled with most interesting Elephant facts.
Thanks for sharing!

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...
Behind the scenes of taking that perfect picture.....

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
