I will begin adding old elephant hunting articles in October. It will take some time due to selling the book on the .600
rifles, filling orders, etc. I hope you enjoy these articles as elephant hunting as written of here is no more. Sadly, many
"trophy" bulls are shot with 25-pound tusks. Even worse (in my humble opinion) is shooting elephants by spotlight. This terrible
practice is done in Zimbabwe on a regular basis and, while some good tuskers are still taken over 50 pounds, how can one be
proud of the hunt (if it is a hunt)? I have about 15-20 articles to add here. To give proper credit, they are:
