Don't look into his eyes! They can smell fear. Don't look at him. Just ignore and pretend that he isn't here... Thank Heavens I have two sets of glasses clean underwear

Holy Crap.

Incredible stuff.
 
Guessing there were NO sudden moves in that camp....
 
WOW! I don't think I'd have been that relaxed, never know what may make that ele agitated.
 
What a fine looking beast though! Outstanding!
 
Stunning. Except for PAC problems in the late Rhodesia, it's inter-actions like this, over the years, that have left me, personally, unable to bring myself to hunt these gentle giants.
 
WOW!!! One can only stare in amazement..........and then change your shorts :biggrin:
 
OOPS! Correct me if I'm wrong, observe, but these are 2 different elephants, right? Picture 1,4 and 5 is one, and picture 2 and 3 another. Correct?
 
I gotta put some clothes in the washing machine right now. I'll be right back!

I think 2 & 3 are different animals as well.
2 Has quite a twist in one tusk compared to 3.
 
MATE thats so cool... like everyone there the hairs on ya arms, legs the hairs on ya bloody chest would be standing on end.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.

Hi EGS

I read your thread with interest. Would you mind sending me that PDF? May I put it on my website?
