MichaelHH375,
Safari was many years ago, I was just as companion, I just shot couple of duikers. Was a safari with two elephants (one of them on the picture) bongo, giant forest hog and dwarf buffalo. This one after six hours follow him, charged from the green wall you see on the picture, I can tell you that after shoot it my uncle and the PH, the trunk was two meters from them, fortunately both of them had quite a lot of experience, otherwise... And the pigmy who is in the picture was the main tracker, incredible tracker. Elephant was injured with a spear by bloody poachers. Fanny thing is that when the charge started the pigmies disappeared do not know where but I remember me alone in the midle of the forest hearing the forest cracking and not knowing where the elephant will come from. Was an unforgetable safari and would like to have the money to do it but this timne as the hunter.
