I have 3 of Buzz's elephant hunting videos and I have watched them many times. I especially like the one entitled Hunting the African Elephant The Complete Guide. IMO it is the best elephant hunting video to watch to help you understand where to shoot your elephant when taking a brain shot. I also really like the interviews with Richard Harland and Ian Nyschens near the end of the video. Richard is still alive and living in Zim, I have been communicating with him recently, such a nice guy. I highly recommend the books by both Richard and Ian, they are great reads.
I believe you can still buy the video on Buzz's site in digital form. I highly recommend the video for anyone but especially if you are considering an elephant hunt.
For a refresher, I watched this video a few times a few weeks prior to my recent leopard/elephant hunt in Zim and I am so glad I did. During my final stalk on the elephant hunt I thought I was going to get a side brain shot (much easier than frontal) but the elephant turned and I ended up with a 10 yard frontal brain shot with the elephant continuing his advancement towards me. Because of my recent refresher with Buzz's video, I remembered that at such close range, and especially if the elephant's head is tilted up a bit, you need to shoot pretty far down the trunk and quite a bit below eye level to get the angle right for your bullet to find the brain. Thankfully I executed the shot perfectly and the elephant's back legs buckled and over he went. Sure made my PH happy!
This was not my first elephant hunt but it was the first time I have had to make a frontal brain shot and I am convinced that if I did not have the help of Buzz's video I likely would not have executed the shot successfully.
