Has it ever happened to you..

What were u armed with?

.375 H&H with 300 grain barnes. 30 yards I think. One shot frontal brain. Her back feet went down so fast she left 10 feet of skid marks. She was doing over 30 miles per hour and breaking trees without slowing down. No question if it was a bluff charge. My P.H. was ready with a Heym 470 NE with 500 grain sledgehammers. It wasn't needed this time. Such a sad ending, it's been difficult to relay the story.

Interesting your PH was well equipped so were you. Did you use Barnes solids or TSX?

TSX. I'm sure I had solids in my belt but there wasn't time to consider reloading. Just put bullets in the target and hope you put them where they belong.

Agreed, shows that even a expanding does the trick with right placement

So, in a situation like this I will assume you did not have a permit for an elephant. What would therefore be the process? Is it a pain in the butt or something else as it was a life and death situation?

The mature tusker was many years ago, while tracking the buffalo in my avatar, on a 100,000 acre property called “Maruli” or “Baruli” not sure which, bordering Kruger Park, South Africa, open to the park and only fenced on one side, up by the road.

The one with small tusks was April of this year, while fishing in the Okavango River, Caprivi Strip, Namibia.

The huge crocodile was during that same fishing trip.

The grizzly was about 5 or 6 years ago, while fly fishing for silver salmon (aka: “coho” salmon, Brooks River, Alaska.

Excellent pictures was the croc coming after you
