Glad you like it Wheels thought you would!
 
CAustin, let me add my congratulations to the pile! Outstanding trophys and a great hunt(s). The elephant is awesome and will look great in your trophy room, but the hunt you will rmember for the rest of your life like it was yesterday. How many times have you replayed the "shot" over in your head? Thanks for sharing.
 
Griz,
It's one week tomorrow since I shot my elephant. I can tell you it is several times a day. We also filmed it on GoPros so I play the shot a couple of times a day. It was a one shot kill but the two PHs had me put two insurance shots in.
 
I hope you share the footage with us!

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)
