    Lets not turn this thread into some sort of moral or ethical debate. Lets just enjoy the pictures and stories about Johns hunt.

What is not generally understood is that when this habitat is destroyed, other species suffer seriously long before it effects the Elephant. The number of Ellie that can be harvested each year is strictly controlled. Over 70% of the money I paid will go directly into the local community.
    Are the neccesary permits your onus, or are they taken care of by the organizers..?

    Great pics & story..! Congrats...

    Suddenly my hunt plan on return to Africa in the fall seems rather quaint!

    Those pics are incredible and I too wish that one day I'll have the cash to go on a safari. I'd love to shoot that mean 8 bore one day too.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Those are some big animals. I dont know much about big-game hunting. What did you shoot them with ammunition wise?
