John, was only a 68 pounder, picture little deceptive, both tusk were pretty much the same.
 
Kenya Elephant pictures short before the ban

In the early 70ies ,a hunting friend of mine, was in the area Tana River,Elephant hunting.
Here a 70 pounder,shot with .458 Win Mag.
He hunted with the PH's Peter Koenicke and Joe Leichum.

Slight side track but I love these old safari pictures. I would love to be able to convert some of mine to look like this.

I hope you find the information your looking for.
 
Foxi, have a look on FB. I think Peter has a page.
 
Thank you for sharing!
 
Foxi,

Another neat post. Thanks.

If you google the two ph's names along with the word Kenya, you get some interesting information. Not sure if it is the same people or not.

All the best.
 
The large elephant Isilo that lived in Tembe Game Reserve in northern KawZuluNatal, South Africa has been mentioned in previous posts on this thread. This huge animal was reported by the park authority to have been found dead in early 2014 and assessed to have died of natural causes but the tusks disappeared. Recently a large police bust of a poaching base in a house in Matola near Maputo in Mozambique uncovered a significant haul of rhino and ivory amongst which it was rumoured that Isilo's huge tusks were also found during that bust haul. This has tragically proven to NOT be the case. The whereabouts of those tusks remains unaccounted for!

I will try and upload a photo file of this animal taken in December 2013 not long before the old elephant died

Much appreciate the information John and looking forward to seeing some pictures of Isilo.
 
Isilo died a short while after this photo was taken by the Demers family on a trip to Tembe between Xmas and New year of 2013 so is a valuable record of this gentle giant who was very accustomed to being near people.

Sadly the whereabouts of Isilo's huge tusks has not been established as far as I know.

Congratulations to you and your client.

Was this recently Paddy?

If so it is good to see there are still some nice bulls in Masailand.
